The scoop neck is elegantly finished with I-Cord, mirroring the treatment on the sleeve cuffs and the angled hemline. Additionally, the loose, flowing sleeves complement the overall design while offering comfort and ease of movement.

The yoke section is ingeniously worked flat, horizontally from shoulder to shoulder, before transitioning to the body, which is knitted in the round for a seamless finish.
