The Folia Sweater is all about effortless charm. Subtle leaf details flow down the raglan lines, merging seamlessly at the sides for a natural, graceful look. The design shifts gently into smooth stockinette, making it an easy and enjoyable knit that still keeps things interesting. With simple touches like rolled purl edges on the hem and cuffs, this sweater has a calm, cozy vibe that feels like a warm hug on a quiet day.
