Clematis

This lightweight, airy sweater is designed in a romantic floral pointelle lace, paired with mohair to create a light, soft halo across the fabric. A relaxed drop shoulder fit, long roomy sleeves, and a cropped silhouette give this sweater an easy, comfortable drape. Inspired by floral vines climbing over country cottages, the design blends nature, ease and softness into a wearable, everyday piece. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) Recommended ease: 7–10" / 18–25 cm of positive ease. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Chest Circumference: 34.5 (40.75, 47, 53.25,) (59.5, 65.75, 72)" / 87.5 (103.5, 119.25, 135) (151, 167, 183) cm.
