Welcome to my second pattern from the artist-kafrin-collection.
“kafrin statement” is inspired by the way of construction, which has often been used in the 80s for sweaters and cardigans. Very simple squares have been sewn together to create an oversize look.

Today´s pattern is constructed top-down and almost seamlessly, featuring fashionable puffs and pockets.
