A modern take on a classic knitwear piece.

Detailed raglan sweater with long rib-knitted cuffs along the elongated and generous balloon sleeves. The body of the sweater is slightly structured, but the loose shape is highlighted by a long open hemline.

The sweater is worked from the top down.
The model in the picture is 169 cm / 5 ft 6 in tall and wears a size 2.
