Future Blooms Sweater

A top-down, seamless sweater worked in the round, featuring a delicate lace and cable round yoke, and twisted rib detailing at cuffs and hem. Designed to celebrate poetic beauty, and inspired by my aunt Loie’s collection of poetry. The sample is knit in DK weight yarn held together with mohair, creating a soft halo that feels like a whisper on the skin. It is ready to wrap you in warmth and words.
