Long, oversized and therefore with a loose fit. It is fun to knit, using large needles of 15 mm. With a game played of full and empty spaces. A game of points that gives the garment lightness, but also substance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">It is knitted flat from the bottom up in a single piece up to the underarm, then we continue with three separate parts, two pieces at front and one piece at the back. The sleeves are instead taken in the round and worked from the shoulder to the cuff. It is enjoyable and quick to make.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Perfect over a t-shirt and long skirt, as seen here. But we can also see it being worn over a slim-fitting suit.
