The Winter Lamb Sweater is an ode to the ones who arrive out of season and find their place anyway. Inspired by The Sheep Detectives, this oversized raglan sweater draws on the gentle symbolism of the winter lamb: resilience, tenderness, and the quiet strength of standing apart. Designed with generous ease and a relaxed silhouette, it’s the kind of piece you reach for when you want to feel held.

SIZING: This sweater is designed with 10-14” of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approximately 10-14” larger in circumference than your hip measurement. It should fall easily and loosely over the hips, but not be so enormous around your bust. For example, if your bust measures 46” and your hips measure 40”, we recommend knitting the 51” size, giving approximately 11” of positive ease at the hips.

The Winter Lamb Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases. Short rows are worked after the collar rib to shape the neckline. The body is finished in a stockinette rolled edge. Sleeves and body are worked in the round and are finished with rib edges and rolled stockinette.
