About the design
G e n t l e sweater, with its oversized look and timeless expression, is a sweater that drapes naturally on the body and fits seamlessly into most wardrobes. It is knitted in a tweed yarn quality, which gives the sweater a lively and tactile character, where subtle color variations add depth and personality.
Its defined raglan lines emerge discreetly from the neckline rib, continue over the shoulders, and run down along the body to the finishing rib edge. The stockinette stitch allows the material to stand out, while the ribbed edges at the neck, sleeves, and body bring the design together in a simple and harmonious finish.
G e n t l e sweater is a design where comfort and aesthetics go hand in hand - a modern classic with a Nordic expression, created to be worn again and again.
Construction
G e n t l e Sweater is worked top-down with short rows and raglan increases.
Once the increases are completed, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body and sleeves are then finished separately.
It is worked seamlessly, with no finishing or seaming required.
