Loire Sweater in English

Loire sweater is a top-down striped sweater that depicts that mix of salt water and fresh water that we witness every day in our city Nantes.
It also has shoulder buttons as on French striped marine sweaters. Though it is a top-down set-in sleeve sweater, the sleeves are actually worked at the same time as the body to have the stripes in the same rows. There are also little tricks so the fit around the neck and shoulders is perfect.
Hope you enjoy!
