Metta Pullover

A timeless sweater with a touch of color and a lot of character.
This cozy pullover combines a classic, comfortable silhouette with a beautiful stranded colorwork motif inspired by traditional folk patterns. The intricate design gradually unfolds across the yoke and continues onto the sleeves, creating a statement piece that is both eye-catching and wonderfully wearable.
The neutral main color allows the colorful motif to really shine, while the harmonious shades of mustard, rust, coral and deep berry add warmth and personality.
Designed to be enjoyed both while knitting and wearing, this sweater is a great project for knitters who love colorwork and want a piece that feels special!
Wear it with jeans for a casual everyday look, or pair it with a skirt for a more feminine, romantic style.
A cozy, colorful sweater that brings a little bit of tradition into a modern wardrobe.
