This slouchy blue, deep-V, chunky ribbed sweater on Dutch model Agnes Nabuurs reminds me SO much of the iconic Forenza sweaters of my youth. It makes me a bit woozy with fashion nostalgia, frankly. So it seems fitting to recommend a vintage ’80s Drops pattern (free pattern) as the how to. (Check out the hair on that model.) No mods necessary, really, although you might want to knit it with a little less ease than recommended, for a proportion more like Agnes’s — slouchy but not ’80s slouchy, if you know what I mean. For yarn, use the recommended Drops Paris in Navy Blue, or Rowan All Seasons Cotton in Storm.
