This flattering wrap sweater is designed for minimal seaming, with the body including front edging knit in one piece to the armholes. The sleeves are knit in the round before being sewn to the body. There is no built-in closure, which allows you to cinch the sweater tighter or looser depending on your preference – choose a size smaller than your actual bust measurement for the best fit – you can wrap the sweater looser for a custom fit.
