Jacquotte
Introducing the Jacquotte sweater—an elegant classic modified drop-shoulder design that combines style and comfort effortlessly. This beautiful sweater features a flattering boat neck and a thoughtfully shaped armhole, which helps to eliminate the excess fabric commonly found in traditional drop-shoulder styles. With its relatively skinny sleeves, the Jacquotte sweater balances a loosely fitted body, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Ideal for cozy nights in or stylish outings, this sweater is a versatile piece that will quickly become a staple.
This wonderful knitting pattern is constructed in four main pieces: a front, a back, and two identical sleeves. Each piece is worked flat from the bottom edge up to the neck, culminating in a seamless finish that showcases your knitting skills. Once all the components are completed, they are seamed together, creating a beautifully tailored garment that accentuates your figure.
