This sweater might be an ironic piece of knitwear since the wolf is not nice to the sheep all knitters love. In itself, it is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. However, the wolf is a beautiful animal and has been a symbol of the warrior in many cultures for centuries. Despite its bad reputation, the wolf is not evil; it just doing what comes naturally to a wolf.

The sheep’s clothing starts to tear
Which leaves the wolf exposed and bare
Eventually, we all reveal
Everything we do conceal. -Miro-
