A simple, oversized sweater that knits up quickly and seamlessly. Features drop shoulders, extra wide sleeves, generous cuffs and a loose fit.

Worked from the top down in 12-ply mohair with a few short rows at the shoulders to refine the fit. The back and front are knit flat, then joined at the underarms to continue the body in the round. Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round to the cuffs.
