LUISA
Named for the director of wine-making at a local winery where I had a glass or two that inspired the need for a simple knit, Luisa is a top-down circular yoke sweater that is all about celebrating the knit stitch. This easy-wearing pullover is ideal for layering over tunics or dresses in the transitional seasons.
