With a refreshing natural texture (it’s all about the amazing yarn), a flattering-on-everyone silhouette and meticulous details like a rolled neck, exposed raglan seams and side slits, this sweater is among my favorites. Wear it casual or with something dressier, for an easy elegance upgrade. Loose fit. Scoopneck. Short sleeves. Falls just below hip.

NOTES
Even though the design is suitable for other yarns, I highly
recommend you use Tsumugi for this garment (held double). The texture and fiber content of the silk tweed is ideal for retaining a smooth, unpuckered ribbed edge and impeccable texture and drape. If you choose to substitute yarn, look for one that contains fibers with similar properties to Tsumugi, such as silk, cotton and linen.

Also, if your rolled neck BO edge is too tight (keeping it from rolling properly) try using a sewn BO technique of your choice.
