A THEORY OF STYLE Sweater

This relaxed-fit sweater is the perfect style for you if you love clean lines and want to achieve a beautiful result with simple knitting techniques.

At first glance, the silhouette appears calm and natural – only upon closer inspection do the fine details become apparent, giving the design its depth.

The subtle O-shape is created through carefully placed decreases, resulting in volume without heaviness. The slightly longer back, generously cut sleeves, and classic round neckline ensure a relaxed, balanced overall look.

The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The shoulder is constructed as a European shoulder, which emphasizes the clean lines. The sleeves are joined directly from the body.

The instructions were carefully test-knitted and technically checked – for a calm, reliable knitting experience.
