Kesäilta Sweater

The Kesäilta Sweater is the perfect knit for those moments when you feel the need for warmth and effortless comfort. Worked in stockinette stitch, the design is knitted seamlessly from the hem up to the armholes, and the upper front and back are worked flatseparately. The refined melange shades of Nalle Alpakka yarn add a deep beauty to the fabric and make this sweater a timeless summer classic.
