Nalinne is a top-down seamless yoke sweater with all over colorwork in a bold, contemporary motif. The ribbed neckline is followed by short rows at the back of the neck to create a comfortable fit. The cuffs and body are finished off in ribbing. The body has optional waistline shaping for a flattering fit worked by changing needle size. There is a seam that runs down the body and inside sleeve using slipped stitches.
