This is the second knit in the Bows & Braids series. After the success and love from the vest I knew a jumper was coming! It’s a chunky cable knit v neck sweater with varsity inspired contrast striped ribbing. To give it a cute feminine vibe the central cable pattern are hearts, along with an adorable contrast functional tie on either side.
