Stripes but make it romantic! This fluffy sweater is a delicious knit worked in two colours and adding just a hint of lace to accompany bulky, relaxed stripes. The sweater is worked seamlessly top down, and it features European shoulder construction with dropped shoulders. The fit is relaxed, and the hem has a slit. The sweater is finished off with a folded neckband.
