The Ethereal Sweater was born from my Ethereal Cardigan pattern, originally designed for my book Shine! Knitting with Beads. This new design follows the same aesthetic, inviting you into a soft and ethereal world.

As you knit, you can choose between different finishing options, as I did in Versions 1 and 2. These small changes in the finishing details give each version a distinct look, allowing you to create the one that best reflects your own style
