Product Description
The June sweater is a short-length knit with a crew neck and narrowing short sleeves. It is worked from the top down in Stockinette stitch pattern with raglan shaping using M1L and M1R increases. The neckline, cuffs, and hem are finished in Rib stitch pattern. Once completed, the cuffs are folded twice, creating the main accent of this sweater.
