The Quiet Crewneck

**The Quiet Crewneck** is part of **The Quiet collection** — garments built on **function-first elegance and deliberate simplicity**. Each piece in the collection is designed to be unremarkable at first impression and impeccable once worn. At first glance, it is a familiar staple. **Clean lines, a timeless crew neckline, and a balanced silhouette** make it easy to wear and effortless to style. But its character reveals itself in the way it sits on the body: relaxed but not oversized, structured yet soft, refined without drawing attention. Designed with approximately **10–15 cm of positive ease**, the fit is comfortable and classic. The body is slightly cropped to pair naturally with high-waisted garments, while the tapered sleeves create a clean and considered outline. The double-folded collar adds subtle structure and helps the neckline maintain its shape over time. The **matte, drapey fabric** enhances the understated nature of the design. Every proportion is chosen with care so that nothing feels excessive and nothing feels accidental. The result is a sweater designed to **settle into daily life** — dependable, balanced, and quietly precise. Seven sizes are included, fitting **bust circumferences from 75 to 111 cm.** **FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS:** Sizes available: XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) XXL Garment circumference: 87 (92) 98 (104) 110 (116) 122 cm Total garment length: 48 (50) 50 (52) 53 (56) 58 cm Yoke length: 21 (21) 23 (24) 24 (26) 26 cm Total sleeve length: 44 (44) 42 (42) 40 (40) 39 cm **GAUGE** 27 sts x 38 rws in 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles **YARN SELECTION** For this garment, I recommend choosing a **wool-based yarn that contains a portion of alpaca, cashmere**, or other soft animal fibers. These fibers create a softer, more **matte fabric with a subtle halo** that enhances the understated character of the design. Pure merino yarns tend to produce a very crisp stitch definition. For this particular sweater, a slightly softer surface texture results in a more cohesive and balanced overall look. **Original Yarn:** Cariaggi Sirius 2/48 (90% virgin wool, 10% cashmere), 4 strands held together **Hand-Knitting Yarn Alternatives:** Drops Nord (45% alpaca, 30% nylon, 25% wool) Drops Flora (65% wool, 35% alpaca) Sandnes Garn Cashmere (100% cashmere) Sandnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt (100% wool) Onion Knit Nettle Sock (70% wool, 30% cellulose) Concept by Katia Silky Lace (80% merino wool, 20% silk) Zealana Kauri (60% wool, 30% possum, 10% silk) Knitting for Olive Merino (100% merino wool) Knitting for Olive Cotton Merino (70% cotton, 30% merino wool) Cardiff Cashmere Classic (100% cashmere) **Cone Yarn Alternatives:** Millefili Clou 2/15 (90% virgin wool, 10% cashmere) Millefili Concord 2/26 (100% cashmere) Cariaggi Cashmere 2/28 (100% cashmere) Zegna Baruffa Cashwool 2/30 (100% virgin wool) Zegna Baruffa Kent 2/18 (100% virgin wool) Biagioli Modesto Cash 30 2/26 (70% virgin wool, 30% cashmere) Loro Piana Top Cashmere 2/48 (100% cashmere)
