The Juice Sweater is the perfect blend of modern elegance and effortless comfort. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down and the yoke is shaped with evenly spaced increases. The increase segments create a subtle yet decorative detail which give the Juice sweater a minimal and contemporary look.

The fit is relaxed and oversized and the narrow sleeves add a feminine touch. This design embodies casual luxury—perfect for lounging at home or stepping out in style. Thoughtful features like side splits at the hem add to its flowy, easy-to-wear feel, while German Short Rows ensure a beautifully tailored fit at the neck.
A timeless staple that balances comfort and sophistication, the Juice Sweater is a project you’ll love knitting—and a wardrobe essential you’ll reach for again and again.
