This crew-neck long-sleeve sweater features a lavender and white stripe motif with a textured, semi-open knit that combines comfort and artistry. Constructed from a polyacrylic (94%) and nylon (6%) blend, it offers lightweight durability, softness, and resistance to wrinkling, stretching, and shrinkage, ideal for everyday wear. The smooth lavender base is crafted with a stockinette stitch, while the raised white stripes use jacquard float stitches to create a tactile, chain-like effect, adding depth and texture. The fine gauge (14–16 stitches per inch) allows for intricate detailing, and the relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders enhances its casual, contemporary appeal. Ribbed edges on the crew neckline, cuffs, and hem provide elasticity and structure, with subtle side slits at the hem for mobility and design interest. The irregular textured stripes evoke shibori-inspired patterns, mimicking handcrafted imperfection and natural beauty, while the pastel lavender and white palette reflects minimalist Scandinavian influences, emphasizing simplicity and functionality. Machine-knit with advanced programming, the texture is seamlessly integrated into the design, avoiding post-production embellishments. Flat panels for the front, back, and sleeves are joined with durable overlocked seams, and the neckline is bound for reinforcement. Post-knitting, the sweater undergoes blocking and steaming to stabilize the fabric and define its raised textures, followed by a softening wash to enhance its tactile quality. Drawing inspiration from Japanese textile art and the organic patterns of traditional shibori, this sweater blends modern fabrication techniques with artisanal aesthetics. The raised white stripes create playful yet sophisticated visual intrigue, making it a versatile, lightweight piece perfect for layering or transitional seasons. Its thoughtful design and contemporary aesthetic balance functionality with a dynamic, handcrafted feel.
