A playful, lightweight sweater featuring open crossed stitches, bobbles, and simple textures. This yoke sweater is knit from the top-downwards, in the round. It includes careful shaping to fit loosely around the body with positive ease, and a cropped length.
This sweater was designed in collaboration with Black Isle Yarns, an artisanal Scottish yarn company whose beautiful wools are coloured using natural plant dyes. Sisymbrium features Killen Sock, knit loosely to show off its lustrous and drapey fabric.
