Farrow Sweater

Meet the Farrow sweater! This drop-shoulder design is knit seamlessly from the top down, making for a smooth finish. It showcases elegant farrow stitches on the back, complemented by intricate farrow cables on the front and sleeves. Construction begins flat with the back neckline, incorporating increases for shaping. Then, the front is picked up along the shoulders, where farrow cables are worked to shape both the neckline and armholes. Once the front and back pieces are complete, they're joined at the underarms and knit in the round to your preferred length. For a unique touch, the lower body splits to create separate front and back hems with a stylish overlap at the sides. Sleeves are created by picking up stitches, using short rows to shape the sleeve cap for a comfortable fit. The rest of the sleeve is then joined and knit in the round, concluding with long ribbed cuffs. Finally, a cosy double-folded collar adds the perfect finishing touch. **SIZE** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL **Finished bust size:** 83.5 (94) 101.5 (112) 122.5 (133) 143.5 (154) 161.5 cm 33.5 (37.5) 40.5 (44.75) 49 (53.25) 57.5 (61.5) 64.5” Model in size M with approx. 15cm/6” of positive ease.
