A modern take on an old favourite! This sweater has waist shaping and three-quarter sleeves along with a deep V neck - 2” deeper than ‘normal’ - and can be worn over a shirt or on its own.

The body is worked from the hem up, using steeks at the neck and arm holes. The sleeves are worked together from the bottom up, a technique sometimes known as Siamese sleeves.
