LADY WHISTLEDOWN SWEATER

This sweater is a simple, top down, seamless raglan. A lovely wrapped stitch pattern is work on the sleeves adding interest and elegance and continues onto the long twisted rib cuff.

Designed in collaboration with Sophie of Botanical Yarns to show case her new yarn base, Donegal DK, this is the first sweater design from Twinset & Purl. The Netflix show, Bridgerton, has inspired many of my designs in 2021 and it just felt right to name this sweater after Lady Whistledown!
