Hold the Line

———————— Find kits [HERE][1] ———————— **HOLD THE LINE** is light and airy sweater that combines the delicate texture of laceweight yarn held together with mohair, creating a soft, fluffy fabric with beautiful drape. This flattering raglan design is knit from the top down and features wide, modern stripes that add a playful touch to the classic silhouette. The collar is folded and two sleeve options are provided — choose between a straight sleeve with a loose cuff or a slight balloon sleeve with a snug cuff. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7, 8) Finished circumference: 43 (46.75, 50.75, 53.75) (56, 59, 61.25, 64.25)” 110 (119, 129, 137) (143, 150, 156, 164) cm Measurements above are given for the finished circumference measured at underarms.
