The Roomy V-Neck is a top-down sweater featuring an oversized, boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders and a deep V-neck. The back yoke is shaped using German short rows for an improved fit, then stitches are picked up and the shoulders are knit while shaping the neckline. The front and back are joined and the body is worked in the round, with sleeves picked up and knit from the armholes. Designed with exaggerated proportions, this piece is perfect for effortless layering over a classic tee.

Offered in 5 sizes, The Roomy V-neck is designed to be worn with lots of positive ease to ensure an oversized boxy fit. Choose a size based on how oversized you’d like it but ideally something in the 12”-18” range of positive ease.

The sample is knit in a size 3, worn with 18” of ease, in the color latte.
