Chestnut sweater
Introducing the **Chestnut Sweater**, a stylish and trendy knit design that pays homage to the fabulous fashion of the 80s. This hip-length sweater features a chic short folded neck that elegantly frames the neckline, making it a versatile piece for any wardrobe. The long balloon sleeves are beautifully finished with rib stitch cuffs, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall look. One of the standout elements of this sweater is the distinctive shoulder line, adorned with charming wrinkles at the front, back, and sleeves, providing a unique visual detail that sets this knit apart from typical styles. The body of the sweater is designed to be worked straight down to the hips, making it exceptionally easy for you to customize your preferred length for a perfect fit.
