Linea Sweater

The Linea Sweater is a striking top-down design featuring a beautifully shaped back yoke highlighted by a contrast-colored line.
The back yoke is worked flat using short rows to create its curved silhouette. Stitches are then picked up along the contrasting line to form the shoulders and front yoke.

Once the yoke is complete, the body is worked seamlessly in the round. The sleeves are picked up at the armhole openings and knitted top-down for a tailored finish. The neckline is completed last, worked in rib for a clean and structured edge.
The contrast color detailing adds an elegant architectural touch to this otherwise minimalist sweater.
