No matter your body type, this drop-shoulder sweater is perfect for wearing to the office, running errands around town, or out on your weekend hike in the woods!
Inspired to create a sweater using marled yarn, Drea Renee Knits combined some of her favorite attributed - texture, faux seams, drop shoulder, and some positive ease to create this versatile, flattering sweater!
From the designer: This drop shoulder sweater is my most favorite addition to my handmade wardrobe! I’ve already knit a second version, leaving off the sleeves so I can wear it in warmer weather or layered over a long sleeve tee!
