A minimalistic design with a simple yet challenging construction. Especially the flattering V-shape and the seams along the sleeves compliments diverse body types. In the beginning you knit the sweater flat and top down. After the V-neck is shaped the front and back of the upper body are joined and worked in the round. Then you pick up extra stitches at the end of the body and sleeves to knit the edge sideways and to complete the whole piece.
This is a perfect project if you like to knit simple things in Stockinette Stitch but also want to be challenged by an unique construction.
