Véronik combined a classic aran pattern with a modern silhouette to create the Gelsomina pullover. The sweater is intended to be close-fitting, with a flattering A-line shape and low boat neck. The same patterns that adorn the pullover are also featured on her companion piece, the Gelsomina Wristwarmers (also part of our Fall ‘12 collection).
