Linja Sweater

This pullover is a simple yet elegant design with lateral braid details. It features modified drop shoulders shaped with short rows, a seamless top-down construction, and a slightly oversized fit. Thanks to the top-down construction, both the body and sleeve lengths are easily adjustable.
