Construction

This sweater is worked from the top with the set in sleeves method starting on the back. Back and fronts are worked separately before joining them to work the body.
The sleeves are then picked up and knitted along the armholes.
This sweater is worn with a positive ease of 15 to 20 cm.
The pattern includes the opportunity to customize body and sleeve lengths. With interchangeable silhouette options, the pattern includes length suggestions for a semi-cropped or classic body, as well as for wider shoulders (men’s version) and sloping shoulders (women’s version).
