The Cabin Window Sweater is a hand-knit postcard of Lake Tahoe. It was inspired by cozy nights spent admiring the sunset on the lake, through the window of an A-frame cabin. It’s intentionally designed to be customizable: with different yarn colors, the lake view can turn into a meadow, desert, snow, and more. The Cabin Window can always look out onto whatever landscape feels like home.
