Here in the North, Novembris isn’t just a month - it’s a state of mind.
It’s the darkest stretch of the year. Gray, quiet days. Bare trees. No snow yet - just damp earth and daylight that seems to disappear almost as soon as it arrives.
It’s the moment when the world gently asks you to turn inward.
A time for slowing down, for warm yarn in your hands, and for the quiet comfort ofmaking.

The Novembris Sweater is a cropped, boxy design worked sideways and featuring a distinctive European-style shoulder. The textured flat cables are formed as you crochet, using a combination of short rows and slip-stitch techniques. The ribbing is fully integrated and worked seamlessly alongside the main fabric.
