Esther is a lovely sweater with many great details. The sweater is short, has twisted sleeves and a biese at the hem, which is a really great detail. If you are unsure how to knit a biese, you can find help on our youtube channel.

Esther is knitted by a mix of Highland Wool and Super Kid Silk, a soft combination, perfect for sweaters.

The sweater is absolutely perfect for fall / spring, but can be used year round!

Enjoy!
