Overview
Haru Sweater is a cabled sweater with an oversized fit. This unique cable pattern alternates the direction of cables, and the adjacent cabling row is unmatched, meaning, you have a cabling row every other row. The big sleeves cozy up in the warm spring sun.
The small cables are Knits by Summer’s favorite as it reminds Summer (the designer behind) of the flower petals. The sweater was named “Haru/春”, “Spring” in Japanese, after its look just like the spring flowers blooming all at once, “満開”. This is a second cabled pattern from Knits by Summer following the “Sakura Hat” (released in 2023).
