Calyx Sweater
Calyx is inspired by the cotton flower, specifically how the calyx holds back the boll, as the flower gets ready to be harvested. The sweater is knitted from the top down, seamlessly, in the round. Beautiful colorwork adorns the yoke, waist and sleeves - you won’t get bored knitting this one!
