Sowa is a reminder to balance life’s responsibilities and routine with just the right amount of impulsiveness and indulgence. Named for a café in Torun, Poland, which serves the most delectable meringue cake, this otherwise simple tank is embellished with two fluttery ruffles – one for each visit I made to this delightful bistro during my 4-day stay!
Worked with double strands of lace weight yarn, the stockinette body knits up fairly quickly, so before you know it you can move on to the girlish, happy-go-lucky detail that tops off this feminine pullover like a yummy dessert treat.
