• Product description

  Koto’s futuristic drop-shoulder silhouette and high-relief texture contrast with the traditional woolen-spun loft of Shelter and Tones to create a thoroughly modern pullover. Slender articulated ribbing accentuates the dramatic short-row-shaped hem, while trim facings at collar, cuffs, and hem make for a beautifully minimalist finish.

  Designer: Olga Buraya-Kefelian

  Collection: Wool People, Volume 9

The upper back and front are worked flat separately to the shoulders, with the neck and shoulders shaped concurrently using short rows. The sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up, then sewn into the armholes. The collar is worked circularly from a combination of held and picked-up stitches, after joining the shoulders. The hem and collar are faced to provide additional structure.
