The Mineral sweater is knit in the round, top down, with a circular yoke with all-over colourwork. The ribbed collar is wide and the yoke is finished with a Latvian braid. Instructions for how to make a sew-down collar are included for a neater look. The cropped body is worked in stockinette stitch and ends with a split hem with a rib that is slightly longer in the back than in the front. The sleeves are worked in stockinette and end in a long, comfy rib. The Mineral sweater is meant to be worn with a generous amount of positive ease.
