A wardrobe staple for the colder months.

The structural and minimalist construction of this sweater is full of interesting details. The turtleneck provides extra warmth. The long and wide-sleeved style. And the fitted shoulder but a slouchy-body feel.

As regards the construction, the yoke is created by using shoulder increases. The front and back are worked by another section of increases for a perfect fit. Straight sleeves and body and folded neck. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down.

The model in the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a size 2.
