Lakeview Sweater

The Lakeview Sweater is an oversized top-down raglan with a folded collar featuring a textured stripe with two Latvian braids in the middle of the body for a little extra interest. It also has a folded cuff, a split hem, and some rapid decreases at the end of the sleeve to create a discreet balloon look.
