This sweater strikes that perfect balance between elegance and practicality. It’s designed to pull on when you want a little pretty without any fuss. The delicate skin of your shoulders and collarbone peek through the tree-bough-inspired mesh pattern while the body of the sweater gets down to business - keeping you cozy and covered. The sweater’s knitted from the top down with a circular yoke and features a simple, four row lace repeat and a few bobbles. Every other row is knit in simple Stockinette Stitch.
