Helix by Yumikop Alexander is beautiful in its simplicity – a construction of three rectangles producing a horizontal line and V neck on the back, these are focal points for this top. Gathered cuffs add more interest.
You have the choice to complete this as a pullover with seaming in the center front or as a cardigan with no seaming in the center front.
