Here we are with a new free pattern just
for you. The yarn chosen today is our Cozy. With a pure cotton coating, it is
essentially the twin of the now iconic Piuma. It's super bulky, soft and knits
really well. Perfect for garments, and it’s at its best when making bags,
textile jewellery or cushion covers!
With Cozy we thought up a large voluminous
square jumper. Slightly cropped and with a generous neckline.
The colour we chose for this jumper is Bougainvillea,
but you can find many other beautiful colours on the store.
Let’s get knitting!
