Marlene is a seamless top-down sweater with a stranded colorwork and a round yoke.
A few increases in the body construction give a slight A-line to the garment, while short rows added to the back neckline allow a small raise from the front collar and a series of short rows on the body, making the garment slightly longer at the back.
Marlene is designed to fit with 1-2” / 3 cm of positive ease at the bust.
