Chestnut sweater
Designed by Neringa Ruke
Chestnut sweater is a hip-length style knit. It has a short folded neck with a neckline. Long balloon sleeves are decorated with rib stitch cuffs. The main sweater focus is a shoulder line that has wrinkles in front, back, and sleeves parts. The sweater body part is worked straight to the hips so it is easy to customize your preferred length. This design was created based on the fashion of 80’s so it fits perfectly with clothes of that period style.
