The Whisper Sweater is a bottom-up design worked in the round, featuring a classic scoop neckline and a tailored yet comfortable set-in sleeve silhouette.

While the back and three-quarter-length sleeves are worked in simple stockinette, the front panel serves as the design’s focal point. It features a textured horizontal ridge on the lower
body that transitions into light, airy lace across the upper yoke.

This versatile piece is perfect for layering over dresses or pairing with trousers.
