Noelia

This cardigan is inspired by Christmas. When I was a child, we used to spend our Christmas time in our cabin, we wore woolen socks and garments knitted by my grandmother. The cardigan is knitted in Finnish wool that reminds me of those times. The textured yoke is like Christmas ornaments on a Christmas tree.
