The Line Sweater

The Line sweater will become your go-to everyday winter staple. Knit from the top down with merino and silk mohair held together, lines of ribbing from the neck continue through the raglan increases, down the sides of the sweater to the hem creating a continuous line and design feature.

The shaping on the back neck is created using German short rows and there is no seaming involved. As the sweater features twisted rib detail along the body sides and underarms - blocking is an important step in the process to set these stitches.
