About the design
With its oversized fit, the f e r a l sweater has no restrictions for your body. We are all different and the f e r a l sweater beautifully embraces many different body types. A loose and comfortable fit that can easily be incorporated into many different outfits.

Structured patterns are the basis for the f e r a l sweater, which is worked in two different structures. The fit and feel is created by baggy sleeves with large armhole openings and raglan stitches from top to bottom, giving the f e r a l sweater an exciting and elegant look.

The sweater is worked top down with no final sewing.
