Eva was inspired by the short-sleeved jumpers of the 1940s. It’s a four season jumper with a classic feel. It’s vintage and modern at the same time. This is a great beginner sweater. It’s featured in my book The Nordic Knitting Primer. I’m knitting this again for Valentine’s Day. I’m casting on ASAP.
