The name of my new sweater was inspired by NATHALIE the lady behind Woolissime, without whom this sweater wouldn’t have been created.

The sweater is made seamlessly from the top down with a simple pattern on the circular yoke while the rest is made in reverse stockinette (knitted on wrong side).

The range of ease across all the sizes is 5 - 8.5 cm/2-3.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 6.5 cm/2.5” of positive ease.
