*When you add 5 patterns from my Ravelry store to your cart and check out together, the least expensive one will be free – a little treat to inspire your next knitting adventure!* Step into the spotlight with Backstage Romance, a sleeveless sweater that feels like a quiet moment behind the curtains before the show begins. Knit with Lamanas Premia, a soft silk and mohair blend, and Milano, a cozy wool and cashmere mix, this sweater drapes beautifully, feels luxuriously soft, and is full of cozy personality. Designed with a classic round yoke, this top-down sweater is knitted in one piece – beginner-friendly, stress-free, and endlessly satisfying. The subtle detail on the yoke isn’t just a little surprise at the front; it gracefully continues along both sides, adding that lovely touch that makes this piece truly special. Whether you’re layering it for work, pairing it with your favorite jeans, or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea, Backstage Romance brings that effortless charm to every moment. And just like a whispered scene behind the stage, it leaves a little trace of romance wherever you go. **Sizes** Measurements given are for the finished garment.
