Académie is the perfect V-neck sweater. This classic and timeless piece will be an essential in your wardrobe. The cut of this sweater is loose and comfortable to wear alone or over a shirt. Académie is constructed in a modern way with dropped shoulders; it is made from the top down, without seams.

 There are two options for knitting this pattern. For a fluffier version, you can opt for a fingering weight yarn knitted with a strand of mohair and silk. For a classic wool version, simply opt for a DK weight yarn.
