The Ros, Irish for jagged land, sweater was inspired by the rocky shores of the Avalon Peninsula and the large minimalist motifs of vintage 80’s lopapeysas. I designed this pattern while browsing thrifted sweaters online, daydreaming about what my perfect lopi sweater would look like.

This sweater is available in nine gender neutral adult sizes. It is knit in the round, top-down with seamless construction.
