Some knits feel like old friends from the moment you slip them on — easy, familiar, and always comforting. Lina is just that: a simple striped sweater with a soft, relaxed shape, designed to be loved through the seasons.

Lina is a generously sized sweater with modified saddle-shoulder shaping. It’s worked from the top down with simple stripes.
