Salty Days Sweater Class
Advanced Sweater Project
The Salty Days Sweater is inspired by the salt fields of Portugal, with textured sections resembling delicate salt flake patterns. It's knit top-down with a relaxed, dropped shoulder and extra long sleeves for a cozy, feminine feel. The design includes interesting construction techniques and is worked with a strand of merino and silk mohair or DK/light worsted weight yarn.
