Aurea Sweater is a light, textured sweater designed for warm days and effortless layering.
The all-over lace motif creates an airy fabric that feels light and breathable, while the slipped-rib lines add quiet structure and a subtle architectural touch. Worked in a soft cotton and modal blend, Aurea has beautiful drape and an easy elegance that pairs effortlessly with dresses, linen trousers or your favourite summer denim.

CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round.
The yoke is shaped with raglan increases worked along four slipped-rib panels. Once the desired yoke depth is reached, the sleeves are separated from the body and placed on hold.
The body is worked in the round while the slipped-rib panels continue uninterrupted along the sides. Sleeves are worked in the round in the lace pattern, with a slipped-rib panel running along the underarm.

Designed to be worn with approximately 10–20 cm / 4–8” of positive ease at the bust.
