Serenade Sweater is knitted bottom-up seamlessly in one piece with a modified drop shoulder construction. The body is worked with a lot of positive ease to achieve a relaxed fit, while the sleeves are more slender for a modern look and start below the shoulder.

The design is inspired by autumn foliage and the shape of musical notes; a serenade about fall splendor and explosion of bright colors. The sweater is knitted with a soft yarn by Isager, a mix of alpaca and wool that’s both breezy and warm, keeping you cozy during chilly evenings.
