The Finestra Sweater with filigree sleeves brings that touch of exciting elegance and classical romance to your wardrobe! The raglan design is comfortable to wear, flatters all figures, and additional filigree detailing at the side seams enhances the feminine form.

Being top-down and seamless in construction, you can easily try your fit as you go. No short rows required.

There is almost zero sewing at the end - just block the sweater to open up the filigree pattern on the sleeves, and you’re ready to go! Instructions for modifying sleeve length are provided, if you want a short-sleeved top in summery cotton instead.
