Sylvia is intended to fit with zero ease at the bust and slight ease through the waist and hips for a fitted, retro silhouette. Twisted rib and eyelet lace add to the vintage feel, and a simple rolled stockinette collar is used for a modern touch. Knit in a soft silk and wool yarn, I imagined this sweater to be practical enough to wear daily but feminine enough to be distinctive.
