Whiskygrandpajumper is a classic unisex sweater. It has an oversized shape, but incorporated decreases on the side give it a slightly V-shaped silhouette. It is knitted seamlessly top down and there are two different length versions described, a short one for women and a long one for men. Also the button placket can be adapted individually. So you can choose if you rather like to use buttons or snap buttons and the number of buttons is also variable - you can place 3 buttons evenly or just 2 to get a nice polo collar.
