Jirachi (Sweater)
This stretchy lace tunic uses a recycled silk/ cotton/ viscose yarn and is perfect for warm summer days. You can also pair it with a long sleeve t-shirt and jeans for the transitional seasons! Named for the adorably star-shaped Pokemon, Jirachi, who has the power to grant wishes and hibernates for extensive periods of time. Perhaps wearing this sweater will bring you prosperity and more sleep? Knit it up and see!
