Elegia is a sweater we designed together in my Instagram stories. You took part in deciding on the shape, fit, sleeve construction, and the stitch patterns. And what we ended up with is a pullover with raglan sleeves, a V neck, and fun stripes of texture and lace. The sweater is worked seamlessly top-down.
