This sweater was designed as part of Bespoke: Sweaters, a little collection of lovely pullovers and cardigans.


Boxy shape, high and squishy cowl neck and high splits at the sides – this sweater is a new take on the simple boxy shape.
Even the yoke shaping is done a bit differently than on most sweaters, resulting in lovely details on shoulders. Light and loose fabric lets the yarn truly shine!
