Introductory discount of 20% for Taiga sweater pattern till Friday, 10.09.2021

Taiga is a stranded colourwork sweater with a top-down construction and a very generous positive ease in the yoke and body for a relaxed fit. The yoke design of this sweater is inspired by trees and ferns of boreal forests.
Starting with the neck, the sweater is worked seamlessly top down, using short rows to shape neckline
As the sweater is knitted top-down, you can decide on the length as you go.
