Sweater No. 13 is a classic, a-line raglan sweater with a high, roll neck. The sleeves are wide and extra-long to highlight the silhouette, which is inspired by the 70ies.

The texture is created using the broken rib stitch, which results in a beautiful waffly look. The sweater is worked from the top down.
