Just the right warmth
The classic beauty of the Alba sweater lies in its surface, created by the rhythm of knit and purl stitches. Designed by Heli Hottinen-Puukko, this sweater has a comfortable looseness, making it perfect for layering in winter or as a cozy warmer on a chilly Midsummer evening.
The sweater has a loose fit and a snowball shape. The surface is formed by knit and purl stitches.
The pattern for the Alba sweater was published in the Saariston neuleet knitting magazine, which draws inspiration from the Finnish archipelago and seascapes.
