About the Design
I love old textiles and their patterns, and so, naturally, this admiration affects my designing.

New Sweden is based on traditional Swedish motifs and shaping, but, updated with softer coloring.

The traditional square neck on this cardigan gives it a simple, refined look that would work well as a suit jacket.

The zipper option makes a logical and modern use of the flat, crocheted front bands. Traditionalists may use pewter clasps, which add another element of beautiful design.
