There’s no need for jewelry when you wear it in yarn, right? Garnet is the sweater you will reach for when you want to toe the line between dressed up and comfortable. A simple set-in sleeve sweater made from a relaxed, yet luxurious fabric with ¾ length bishop sleeves, simple colorwork trims on the neck and sleeves like strings of gemstones, and a keyhole in the back which is sealed with a button closure.
