ABOUT THE GARMENT

The Helena Sweater is a very oversized version of a sweater in broken rib stitch. It features a funnel neck and a dropped shoulder line. Short rows in body and sleeves provide the sweater with an asymmetrical look. The boxy shape and no extra ribbing give the sweater a casual and clean fit.
Minimal finishing is needed.
