The Jutland sweater is knitted in an easy-to-memorise, small-scale texture with two strands of lace-weight yarn held together. Eyelet ribbons in contrasting colour adorn the front, back and sleeves, framing the neck and highlighting the panels and cuffs. You can choose between a cropped or regular body length. This design is intended to accompany you through the changing seasons — a cosy piece that brings warmth on cool days, embellished with lacy details reminiscent of breezy tops from warmer weather.  This design was inspired by a trip to Denmark, to the Jutland countryside.
