Gundare
A classic, solid sweater, Gundare combines a set-in-sleeve silhouette with a saddle shoulder to create strong, clean lines inspired by Grieta’s architecture background. Schoppelwolle’s Reggae held with Knitting for Olive’s mohair creates a sturdy, warm fabric perfect for cool mornings. This tailored sweater is ready for wherever life takes you. The Bulgarian cast-on is Grieta’s favorite cast-on. It adds visual interest while being simple.
