Anna Johanna wanted to design a monochrome sweater to reflect the black and white winter scenery in Finland – leafless trees against the white snow and just a couple of crows sitting on the branches. Even though the inspiration came from nature, the overall look of the design is quite urban, making the sweater a great layering piece for a weekend getaway at the cabin, or to wear for a night out on town. The sweater has an all-over colourwork pattern with little crowfeet. The hem features a couple feathers the crow dropped on her way.
