The SOFT LOOP SWEATER is a light and soft sweater with high neck and elegant structural pattern. The cut is caste and oversize with straight sleeves.
The soft_loop_sweater works from top to bottom. First, the neck is cut and the upper part in rounds with shoulder increases. After that, the work is divided into front and back; both parts are made separately in rows before being closed back to the body. The sleeves and hulls are knitted in rounds. The structure pattern, which extends over the entire sweater, consists of right and left stitches, which are worked according to the simple diagram.
