Graceful sweater is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. The cropped body is worked in the round and later split to knit the front and back yokes separately. Stitches are then picked up at the sleeve opening, where blousy sleeves with cinched cuffs emerge. The sweater has generous positive ease, which allows room for comfort and layering while also displaying an effortless, elegant style.
