Pilot sweater
The Pilot sweater is a soft airy cocoon knitted in silk mohair. It is a cropped model that combines perfectly with high waist trousers, skirt or dress. The brioche stitch has a intriguing stripe texture that’s highlighted in this design by using two colours.
The pattern is available in English and in Dutch at this time.
