Seawind by Åsa Buchta

Craft: Knitting

A sweater that drapes in all the right ways, with a split-cowl neckline that’s effortlessly chic whether you’re bundled up inside with tea and a book or heading out for weekend brunch. The drop-shoulder silhouette keeps things relaxed while the simple stockinette showcases Nuvola’s pillowy texture. Warm, flattering, and surprisingly quick to finish.

Seawind is knit from the bottom up beginning with the hems and then joining to work the body in the round to the underarms. One shoulder seam is seamed and the other features a button placket. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and worked down in the round.
