Musgo

Musgo means moss in Portuguese. The combination of Musgo’s cozy and soft bouclé yarn and the cabled pattern remind Paula of mosses — both visually and the way the delicate, squishy fabric feels. The wide cables, with their lines and twists, create a unique movement in the garment. If you are into reversible knits, Musgo also has a different, equally beautiful, texture on the inside. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) **Recommended ease** 4–5" / 10–12.5 cm of positive ease. **Finished measurements Chest circumference: 34 (38.5, 42.5, 46.5, 50.5) (55, 58.5, 62.5, 66.5)" / 86 (97.5, 108, 118, 128) (139, 148, 158.5, 168.5) cm.
