Elton Street Sweater
Elton Street is a boxy long sleeved pullover with graceful drape and ample ease. Whether worn alone or as a layering piece, it is an essential component of a capsule minimalist wardrobe. The sweater is knit flat from side to side in two mirror image pieces, beginning at a sleeve cuff and ending at the center of the sweater. The deconstructed look of the exposed seams adds to the sweater’s minimalist vibe. The pattern offers a choice of two necklines -- an on trend funnel neck or a simple boat neck with front neck shaping. You’ll want to knit both!
Sizes Finished bust: 36(40,44,48,52,56)“. This sweater is designed to be worn with 6” to 8” of positive ease. Finished length from high point of shoulder to back hem: 23(23½,24,25½,26¾,27½)”.
