Round-neck pullover in an all-over ribbed pattern.
Structural and minimalist construction that is full of interesting details. It has a fitted shoulder but a slouchy-body feel.
Construction-wise, the yoke is created using shoulder increases. The front and back are worked by another section of increases for a perfect fit.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The model in the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a size 2.
