Understated
Understated is a beautiful, tactile sweater. The sweater is worked top-down seamlessly and features a wide neckband with short row shaping done during the ribbing. The sweater has a round yoke with a lovely linen stitch pattern while the body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch. The sweater has long sleeves and there are instructions for an optional bust dart. All the ribbings are made extra neat and plumpy with tubular cast-on and bind-off.
