The city I live in with my family are surrounded by mountains. Those mountains were the inspiration fo rthis cardigan. The layers of mountains are portrayed in echos of eyelets that make up the yoke of this cardigan. A contrasting color was used for the ribbing however this cardigan would be equally stunning knit up in one color.

The cardigan is worked top-down. It is meant to be worn with 0”-1”/ 1-2.5cm negative ease.
