Knitted from loosely spun wool yarn, the Sypressi Slipover keeps you warm even on the coldest winter days. The slipover is decorated with a Broken Seed Stitch and the pattern features three different collar options: a polo collar, a turtleneck and a crew neck. The Sypressi is the perfect autumn and winter cover-up to wear for example with a dress, outside with a jacket for extra warmth, or in the evening to throw on a nightgown before snuggling under the covers.
