Overview
Haru Vest is a cabled vest 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 small cables are Knits by Summer’s favourite as they remind Summer (the designer behind Knits by Summer) 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”.
