This modern summer sweater gives a nod to classic styles from the pre-war era. Created from two essentially square-shaped pieces, the top has a wide neckline and armhole openings, and features a nostalgic flower motif.
It uses Lang Artemis, a mix of cotton and silk that knits up into a sleek fabric with a lovely drape; it’s available in a range of sophisticated shades.
