Kvetka means flower in Belorussian.

“Kvetka” is a simple sweater with a flattering on anyone silhouette and just a touch of lace. The sweater is knitted seamless top-down and has raglan sleeve construction. Raglan seams and side seams are exposed to create fake seams. The sleeves are knitted seamless in the yoke and knitted flat and seamed after the separation for sleeves and the body. Little flower bloom stitch on the body and sleeves keeps the knitting interesting and fun and adds lovely visual interest to the sweater. Dress it up or pair it with your favorite pair of jeans for an everyday casual look.
