Introducing the Iduna’s Embrace Sweater — a cosy, timeless piece designed to wrap you in warmth and style. Crafted with soft, aran/medium weight yarn, this sweater features a comfortable turtleneck that’s perfect for cooler days.

The true beauty of Iduna’s Embrace lies in the intricate pattern of the sleeves, where twisted and wrapped stitches, combined with delicate bobbles, create a stunning texture that contrasts elegantly with the simplicity of the stockinette stitch on the body. Whether you’re dressing up or winding down, this sweater offers the perfect balance of eye-catching design and relaxing knitting.

The picture shows size 1 (in a lighter color “Rose”) with 8 cm/3” of positive ease and size 3 (in a darker color “Old Rose) with 25.5 cm/9.75” of positive ease. Please choose your size basing on the finished chest measurements.
