  • Stern - Sweater

    “With Stern, I was aiming to create a very versatile piece that would work for kids and adults as well as with different yarn weights and regardless of whether you prefer pullovers or cardigans – the pattern is written for both options. The texture yoke motif is fairly minimalist to go with all those options, and I hope it pairs beautifully with your favourite yarn.” - Verena
