Lavendel Sweater

The Lavendel Sweater is a modern oversized sweater with a relaxed silhouette and timeless, clean lines. Designed to be both comfortable and elegant, it is worked seamlessly from the top down using soft Suri Alpaca by MosterMoster, creating a light, airy fabric with a beautiful halo. The generous positive ease gives the sweater its effortless oversized look, while the proportions have been carefully balanced across all sizes to ensure a flattering fit.

Construction begins with the back, followed by the left and right fronts, which are worked separately before being joined. The body is then worked seamlessly in the round. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes, and the sleeves are also worked in the round. The neckline is finished with a refined attached 3-stitch i-cord, giving the sweater a clean and polished finish.
