One Detail Does It

A relaxed turtleneck in a heathered knit, with contrast piping run along the raglan seams, the collar and the cuffs. The trim follows how the sweater is built rather than sitting on top of it, and that is what keeps a plain knit from reading plain.

• Contrast piping — outlines the seams, so the shape of the sweater shows even in a single color.
• Raglan sleeve seams — run from the collar down to the underarm and give the shoulder real room to move.
• Fold-over turtleneck — rolls back on itself for a double layer of knit at the neck.
• Fine gauge knit — thin enough to go under a coat without bunching up at the shoulder seam.
