Overview
The Basia Sweater is knit top down with a drop shoulder silhouette. You start by working the shoulder panels and then pick up the back and the front. The body is knit in simple stockinette while the sleeves are knit in a textured stitch. The neckline and hem are finished with some textured lace details to complement the sleeves.
