Clean lines meet considered detail. The Gather Sleeve Sweater is a seamless, top-down pullover with gathered sleeve caps, drop saddle shoulders, voluminous balloon sleeves, a tied waistband, and a relaxed oversized silhouette — effortless to wear with just enough drama.
The back, shoulders, and front are constructed as a single piece before separating at the bust and rejoining at the underarms. The body is then worked in the round, with sleeves and neckband each picked up and worked in the round separately using the magic loop method.
