The Emma Sweater is inspired not by someone called Emma, but Emmanuel College right here in Cambridge. The subtle ribbed lacework in this sandy colour reminds me of the columns of the chapel designed by Christopher Wren. Worked top down in the round with raglan increases and short rows to create a warm, cosy and fitted piece.
