Snofleur sweater
€8.70
A simple and poetic sweater designed by Weichien Chan / the petite knitter
Description
Inspired by the snowflakes that fall on dried flowers as the season changes, Snofleur is a minimalist and simple colourwork design.
This boxy top-down jumper is knitted in the round and features a seamless construction and stranded yoke. It comes in ten adult sizes with customization options for body length, sleeve length, and bust shaping.
CONSTRUCTION
The jumper is knitted top-down and in the round. A seamless colourwork round yoke follows, with increase intervals throughout. Sleeve separation creates the distinction between armholes and body. The sleeves are knitted top-down and in the round as well.
