Palm Tree Sweater

The Palmier sweater is an autumnal sweater knitted in a fingering yarn lined with mohair. Its refined look, brought by the stitch used as well as the pearls, is offset by a sportswear cut which will make it easy to wear and match with your wardrobe.

Have fun choosing contrasting pearls for an even more pronounced look!
