SORBET is a feminine, lightweight sweater featuring a delicate lace pattern and a classic raglan silhouette. The combination of subtle texture, clean finishing and a timeless shape makes it a versatile piece for everyday wear.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. German short rows shape the neckline for a comfortable fit, while the lace pattern on both the front and back adds an airy, elegant touch. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeves are separated from the body and each section is worked in the round.
