Stella Sweater

89 kr

After a hot summer, there’s nothing more appealing than wrapping yourself up in a chunky knit sweater. The Stella Sweater is the perfect companion for those chilly August evenings. The sweater is inspired by the star Stella in the August calendar – a symbol of light and warmth as the nights grow longer. Stella Sweater is knitted from the top down in a broken rib. The wide raglan sleeves give the sweater a relaxed fit and are finished with a wide cuff. To facilitate freedom of movement, the sweater also has slits at the sides.
The best part is that you can customize the Stella Sweater just the way you want. Knit it in a single color for a timeless look or let your imagination run wild and create your own pattern with different colors. The possibilities are endless – let your creativity flourish!
So when the evenings get cooler and the stars start to light up, wrap yourself in the Stella Sweater and feel the warmth of the star itself.
Hugs! /Erika

8 markers, 2 extra cables for resting stitches, a darning needle for attaching yarn ends and a measuring tape.
