Ashen is available in SWEATERS, my brandnew book! Find all info on it here!

Perfect for dressing up while dressing down, Ashen is a slouchy, poncho-like sweater that looks sophisticated but feels like you’re wrapped in your favorite blanket.

The construction is deceptively simple: just knit a rectangle, stitch the edges together, then add on the sleeves. The symmetrical design means you can wear it with the lace on the shoulders, or flip it so the lace is on the bottom of the sweater.

Ashen knits up quickly in Alta Moda Cashmere 16 by Lana Grossa, and a chunky button by JUL Designs finishes the design.
