Sirkku Sweater

The Sirkku sweater features a playful zigzag pattern consisting of a variety of stripes. The light garment is knitted in pieces in garter stitch, with the lace decreases and yarn overs always on the right side. Designed by Sisko Sälpäkivi and knitted using the Wonder Wool 4PLY and Viola yarns, this sweater is a spirited combination of sweetness and charm – just like in the good old days.
