Ivy Sweater (EN)

€7.50

The Ivy Sweater is worked top down holding together one strand of merino wool of your choice and two strands of silk mohair. The yoke has a decorative lace and cable pattern with built-in increases, which make the piece a real showstopper. The silk mohair gives the garment a cosy yet elegant finish, while the balloon-shaped sleeves create a flattering and feminine shape.

Tip! Choose a light color to make the yoke pattern really stand out. If you’re going to make all this effort, better show it off too!
