“THIS SIMPLE crew neck sweater features an embroidered posy motif, moss stitch borders and contrasting crochet picot trims; an ideal summer cover-up with a contemporary Boho vibe and folkloric references,”

says its designer, Sasha Kagan. “Easy embroidery stitches open up new possibilities for hand knitting.” Sasha’s design is worked in Rowan’s Baby Merino Silk DK and Baby Cashsoft Merino DK for a luxuriously soft fabric.
