Still Life is a soothing and effortless knit designed for quiet moments — when the world slows down and you find peace in knitting. With its soft warmth, graceful drape, and relaxed fit, this lace sweater is a trusted favorite you’ll return to time and again.

The Still Life sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down and features a European shoulder construction, a squishy cowl neck, and a beautiful lace panel at center front. The sweater has long, wide sleeves, and the hem has a high slit with neat i-cord edges. The sweater is worked holding both yarns together throughout.
