About the pattern

Drift has a front that is drafted extra-wide at the neck so it falls into soft folds, a cowl without any facing. The back neckline is finished with a narrow self-fabric facing, and the long sleeves are set in flat.

Women's sizes EU 34 to 52. In a knit it sits close; in a fluid woven, choose a size up for ease.
