SUBTLE DETAILS have been used to bring a contemporary look to this sweater by Fiona Alice. Designed for a loose, comfortable fit, it features a box pleat at the top of the lower back section, along with two little pleats above the cuffs. The sweater is worked in a number of pieces, which are joined using the three-needle cast-off to produce visible seams on the right side of the garment. It’s knitted in Saltaire, an aran-weight yarn from Sirdar.
