Inspired by vintage lace garments and their characteristic crisp texture, this sweater combines nostalgic details with the clean lines of a casual wardrobe staple. Fully tailored shoulders and sleeves create a beautifully structured fit, while the worsted-weight yarn makes for an enjoyable and relatively quick knit.
