It was my intention that Rasa tell the story of a calm, early morning reflection. This gorgeous sweater focuses on a simple base, displaying a texture reminiscent of dew drops on a blade of grass. By incorporating a continuous ribbing element in the solid background, the diamond-shaped post stitches bring out a subtle yet strong pattern.
