Solace Poncho + matching arm warmers

Solace is a softly structured poncho inspired by the quiet strength of forest landscapes - bare tree trunks, moss-covered ground, and vertical lines rising calmly through stillness.

Worked in Scheepjes Woolwise DK, Solace combines durability with warmth and exceptional stitch definition. Vertical rib columns and subtle cables create a grounding rhythm, while optional hand-stitched embellishments in contrasting greens echo blades of grass and climbing moss.

The poncho is worked in one piece from front to back, with thoughtful neck shaping and a generous roll neck that sits comfortably without bulk. Matching arm warmers complete the set and carry the same natural textures.

Simple to construct and effortless to wear, Solace is a meditative knit with a refined, contemporary silhouette.
