Cara Sweater

Description

Design, Text, Fotos © Le Knit (Lene Holme Samsoe)

Cara In Irish means friend and the Cara Sweater really has potential to become a faithful companion. The sweater is made from 100% wool from top to bottom, so that it is almost unbreakable and only softer when worn. The patterns are classic Irish Aran patterns that give the sweater a dense surface. Due to the side panels – and sleeve bottoms – without braid pattern, the sweater gets a great fit.
