This cheerful sweater is a needed cozy layer this season! Basic with cute details - neckline eyelets and mock princess-style seams - in an easy one-piece construction.
I chose an unusual blend of wool, alpaca and linen for a natural look and texture that’s still soft.

Design features a high round neck, compound raglan shaping, and vertical eyelets at the waist in conjunction with waist shaping for a slimming effect.
