Simple Summer Tweed Top Down V-Neck

Simple Summer Tweed Top Down V-Neck

(with crew neck option)
photo by HeidiKdesigns

A very basic top down raglan with almost no seaming required. Includes sizing / shaping for both men and women, and (despite its name) a crew-neck variation as well. It is designed to be a casual, loose fit, but could easily be made more fitted by increasing the waist shaping rows and choosing a size that fits more closely. The neck trim can also be left off for a more open v-neck.
