A wrap sweater revealing a bit of the back and accentuating the tied waist, Zvaigznes deserves the title of a timeless closet staple. Its versatility doesn’t stop there—turn it back side to the front and wear Zvaigznes as a cardigan, if desired. The alpine stitch embodies a soft texture while the finer details demand attention and leave nobody indifferent.
