Good extravirgin olive oil is smooth, delicate, but rich in character, just like this sweater with its unusual construction, its simple, textured stitch, its wide and long sleeves. Besides, both Spain (for the yarn) and Italy (for me) are homes to great extravirgin olive oils. Merino-lino is a blend of merino wool and flax, which gives it a fantastic drape and a rustic look that contrasts with its softness. Knit Extravirgin’s sleeves first, graft the two sides in the center of the neck, and the neck border. It’s now time to personalize the sweater. Choose how to knit the bust by picking up more or less stitches, making it narrower or wider, longer or shorter. The bust is knitted top down with shaping, apart from a few short rows in the front. The elasticity of the stitch pattern and the drape of the yarn will conform to your body effortlessly.
