Azeri is a 4-color steeked cardigan. Worked from the top-down, the geometric colorwork pattern was inspired by the elaborate tiled and painted domes that top Persian architecture. Knit with The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Soka pii’ yarn, a rustic single-ply yarn that has incredible stitch definition and wonderful saturated colors, its lightweight, yet cozy. The wide neckline and slight waist shaping give in a feminine silhouette, making it perfect for dressing up or down on any occasion.
