The sweater is unshaped to the waist and can be worn with some positive ease as shown in our photos or could equally be knitted without ease to create a more fitted silhouette if preferred.
Three length options are provided with additional information included on how to customize the length further if desired. Subtle armhole shaping creates a slightly more relaxed fit than seen on earlier sweaters, enabling this sweater to look both vintage or modern depending on how it is styled.
So Neat and Sweet in her Simple V-Necked Jersey is knitted using our
