Discover a modern twist on a classic favorite with this exquisite sweater pattern! Featuring elegant waist shaping and stylish three-quarter sleeves, this design showcases a deep V-neck that is 2 inches deeper than traditional styles, making it perfect for layering over a shirt or wearing on its own for a chic look.
