Erik has lovely wide saddle shoulders that also cover the top of the back, and really suit boys and men. The sweater is worked from the top down, so the length of sleeves and body are easy to adjust. Erik is worked seamlessly, so you avoid the usual finishing work of assembly and seaming. The combination of alpaca and lambswool creates a lovely light and warm fabric, and the attractive saddle shoulders gives the design a beautifully classic menswear look.
