Classic lightweight sweater.

A versatile essential, with a slightly oversized shape and subtle details on the shoulder and in the armhole. The Clarissa sweater combines feminine elements with a very classic fit, making it an effortlessly everyday essential.

Knitted using 3 strands of mohair lace with large needles for a lightweight appearance, the design is sufficiently adaptable to replace the yarn and achieve different results. The sweater is worked top down. First, the back yoke is worked flat, shaped with increases. The fronts are done separately before picking up and knitting the sleeve stitches along the shoulders. At this point, the yoke and sleeves are shaped using the contiguous method. Once the neck opening is complete, the work is joined to work in the round. The sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round.

The model in the picture is 169 cm / 5 ́75” tall and wears a size 2.
