Robyn Chachula drew inspiration from one of William Morris’s most well-known designs—Strawberry Thief—for the back filet panel on this irresistible sweater. The sweater is one large triangle. Joining the points of the triangle together and a simple edging transform the design from vintage shawl to modern cocoon sweater. (Interweave)
