Stitches for collar are picked up at the end.
It’s a pretty loose sweater, in order to play with layering and to show the beautiful drape of the garnment. The style is minimalist with some beautiful details: wide collar; decorative double decreases along neckline and sleeves shaping. Elbow lenght and pretty wide sleeves add to the sweater its final touch.
Many thanks to the testers Erika loareknits, Maï mlohier, Marielle mariranja, Nele Apella, Sharon jomiel and Vera maanel
