FAQs

How is the Aarven Longsleeve constructed?

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down.

You begin with saddle shoulders, followed by raglan increases in the round.

After separating sleeves and body, each section is worked individually to the desired length.

What makes the construction special?

The saddle shoulders create a clean, elegant silhouette and ensure a flattering fit.

The design combines the timeless Breton-inspired style with a modern seamless approach.

Can I adjust the length or fit?

Yes – the top-down construction allows you to try it on as you knit.

You can easily adjust both sleeve and body length for a perfect fit.

Is it suitable for men as well?

Yes. Thanks to its straight shape and classic stripe design,

the Aarven Longsleeve works beautifully as a unisex model.
