Structural and minimalist construction full of interesting details.

The easy pattern stitch creates a beautiful texture. 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.
