Hurma is an airy sweater that is worked with mohair held double.

It’s intentionally loose, as if floating in the air. Even though you’d usually go for a size with approx. 10 cm / 4” of positive ease, now pick a size with more.

The faded rose colour is straight from the walls of my historic blocks in Helsinki, but the pattern is contemporary. The frontside features interesting fake pocket seams, and the sleeves are relaxed and decreased in a bell shape.

The sweater is worked top down seamlessly.
