The Kukkia sweater is knitted in pieces using the summery Novita Sointu yarn. What’s special about the pattern are the lacy flower stripes, knitted using a contrasting colour. There are helpful tutorials for the technique at the Novita.com website. The finishing touch comes from the long collar which you can tie into a bow or leave hanging. The pattern is part of Rolf Ekroth’s 2025 summer collection Lavatanssi, which was showcased at the Copenhagen Fashion Week.
