La grasse matinée
A laid-back sweater for those lazy Sunday mornings.
The garment is knit seamlessly top-down. It features 3/4 raglan sleeves and pretty little eyelets in the hem and sleeves. It is meant to be worn with positive ease and I recommend you to block the body of the sweater but be careful not to block the sleeves too much as they are meant to be snug.
Size
XXS-XS-S (M1-M2-L1) L2-XL-XXL
The sweater is meant to be worn with positive ease. Choose a size with approx. 4’’/10 cm positive ease at bust circumference.
