Olive Sweater
Combining a modern silhouette with a deco-influenced stitch pattern is a great way to give a project a subtle vintage flair. Olive is a classic, wearable sweater covered in large geometric cables inspired by Art Deco motifs. The fit is relaxed and worn slightly loose with a touch of flattering waist shaping. Worked in a lightweight wool yarn, this cosy sweater can be dressed up or down as part of a modern or vintage inspired outfit – pair it with skinny jeans and boots or tucked into a skirt with a silk scarf at the neck.
