This long-sleeve sweater features a relaxed fit with ribbed hemline and cuffs, showcasing an intricate textured geometric pattern in a vibrant mustard yellow that adds boldness while maintaining a warm, versatile aesthetic. Likely crafted from a medium-weight yarn blend of cotton, viscose, and acrylic, it offers durability, breathability, and a soft texture, ensuring a structured drape while remaining lightweight. The main pattern employs a raised basketweave or maze-inspired stitch, achieved through knit and purl textures, creating a striking 3D effect with uniformity. The hemline and cuffs feature 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing, providing elasticity and a snug fit at the openings. The silhouette incorporates slightly batwing or dolman sleeves, allowing ease of movement and an oversized contemporary style. The wide body contrasts with the tighter ribbed waistband, creating a flattering blouson effect. Inspired by mid-century modern and Art Deco design, the geometric pattern features a repetitive maze-like structure with symmetry and rhythm, adding visual depth. Machine-knit using a fine-gauge setting, the textured pattern is seamlessly integrated during the knitting process for consistency across the fabric. The sweater may be knit in the round or assembled with invisible seams, ensuring a clean finish and minimal bulk, while gradual decreases shape the armholes and sleeves smoothly. Ribbed cuffs and hem are reinforced with double stitching to prevent fraying and enhance structural integrity. Pre-dyed yarn ensures consistent mustard yellow coloration, while post-knitting treatments like blocking and steam pressing refine the shape, soften the fabric, and preserve the raised texture. This sweater exemplifies a blend of technical knitting expertise and artistic design, with its intricate pattern and bold color making it both functional and visually striking. Suitable for casual and semi-formal occasions, it’s a standout garment that seamlessly combines style and comfort.
