The Zeme Sweater pattern can now be purchased as a single pattern (September, 2024). Please note that this pattern is not eligible for discounts.

Zeme is the ideal compromise for any season, being neither too heavy nor too light. The variety of stitches show a good balance between solid textured fabric and filet lace. The mix of puff stitch braids and filet crochet lines form an eye-catching textural surface. Think rocky mountains, dry deserts, ravines, gorges and so much more that mother Earth has to offer from its beauty.
