No 002

We dreamed about an easy knit with detailing and fit to its perfection. The neckline took more than three years to refine, targeting this rounded, feminine shape that sits beautifully over shirts or worn just as it is. That's Grivette No 002 — simple but perfect.

This is the most beginner-friendly piece in our collection, and it really feels like the perfect place to start if it's your first sweater. At the same time, it's just as enjoyable for more experienced knitters who are looking for something calm and relaxing.

It's also become one of those garments we keep coming back to. Easy to wear, easy to style, and the kind of knit you'll likely want to make again in different colors and sizes. The fit is intentionally oversized, with generous dropped shoulders and longer sleeves.

The models is wearing a size M and is 174 cm tall, which gives the piece a more open and relaxed silhouette. If you prefer a slightly more fitted look, we recommend sizing down. You can also shorten the sleeves by working fewer rows before the arm hem — we always encourage adapting to your own measurements.

"We even wore it on a four-day trip to the mountains of Iceland, and it still looks just as beautiful — which says a lot about how well this piece holds up."
