Laventeli Sweater
Can you feel this cold winter day in every bone? The snow is glistening like little diamonds and all you can think of is the taste of blueberry ice-cream. Or maybe this sweater takes you to that late summer’s day on a lavender field. Can you smell the hot air bursting with those dreamy scents?

Laventeli Sweater is knitted from top down, starting with the back. You then shape the front of shoulders using short rows and shape the neck. The body is worked in the round and the double layered collar is worked last for ultimately soft and warm finish.
