I love the angles of this sweater. 
Arte Nuova is a lightweight, draped top, perfect for warmer months. It is worked top-down, in the round, featuring a hybrid raglan/yoke construction. Chevron cables run along each shoulder and down the outside of the sleeve and a section of intricate colorwork decorates the waist. This is engaging, motivating knit that yields an elegant and versatile finished garment.
