Möwe (Teeth III) is a zippered cardigan featuring loop stitch texture at the lower shoulders to form an unusual silhouette. Because the cardigan is cropped and fitted, optional vertical bust darts are included.

The pattern also includes instructions for matching long finger-less mitts.

Guidance on certain less common techniques such as the loop stitch, Tubular cast on and bind off, as well as guidance on installing zippers are included.
