Raa is an oversized sweater with dropped shoulders.

The sweater is a timeless and very comfortable basic knitwear. The use of small flat cables, garter stitches and no further finishing give the sweater a relaxed, contemporary but also a feminine vibe. It is a lightweight all-year-round sweater, worked flat and top down with a small all-over pattern. The dropped shoulders are worked with short-row shaping and the Front and Back are worked separately until desired length. The long sleeves are also worked flat and sewn together afterward.

Sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL)
Make sure to choose a size that allows for dropped shoulders and upper body to have some ease. If you choose a size with less ease at body, a larger size for sleeve with more upper arm circumference can be chosen to avoid the fabric to stick/create bulks at underarm. If you choose a lot of ease at body a smaller size for sleeves can be chosen to get more fitted sleeves.
