Lou V-neck Sweater

Lou V Neck Sweater is the third design in the Lou series, following the Lou Cardigan and Lou Balaclava, and is a knit that emphasizes simplicity through a simple purl motif. The cleanly finished V-neckline without separate ribbing is the core of the design, and the sleeves and body are also finished without ribbing, expressing a minimalist aesthetic. It is an easy-to-knit and practical design that naturally matches various styles.

It is worked top-down, starting from the shoulder line for the front and back panels, which are worked to the underarms, then joined to work the body in the round. The sleeves are completed by picking up stitches from the armhole and knitting downwards.
