Lyydia Sweater
Lyydia Sweater is knitted from the bottom up seamlessly, which makes its structure refined and pleasant
to knit. The classic ribbed neckline, hem, and cuffs give the sweater a polished and timeless look, while the relaxed silhouette adds comfort and versatility for everyday wear. The eye-catching two-color stranded colorwork blends traditional Nordic-inspired aesthetics with a modern twist. With your choice of colors, you can create bold, striking contrasts for a statement piece or opt for soft, muted tones for an elegant and understated look.
