Cocoon sweater
I’m sure you know that Russian winter is harsh and very cold. That’s why so often I want to feel warm and cozy. And what is better than wearing a knit sweater in this cold climate? (Spoiler: nothing!).
The idea of this sweater came to me on vacations near the Black sea during the hot summer. The design absorbed southern sun and sea breeze. You will totally survive snowy winter in such a warm, fluffy cocoon! These were my thoughts that kept my inspired and made me knit faster!
The pattern includes written row-by-row instructions.
The pattern was test knitted.
