A top-down, seamless sweater worked in the round, featuring a delicate lace and slipped-stitch yoke with garter detailing at the collar, cuffs, and hem. A soft ruffle adorns the mid-yoke, adding an ethereal, dreamy touch—perfect for the holiday season. The sample is knit in fingering-weight yarn held together with mohair, creating a gentle halo that feels like a whisper against the skin, ready to wrap you in warmth.
