Inspired by the Greek goddess of the same name, the Circe Sweater represents her dual nature of calm and dynamic. It combines soothing, gently flowing stockinette with geometric lace at the balloon sleeves and body.
Circe is knit from the top down, with shoulder shaping to fit your own shoulder and bust measurements. Optional vertical and horizontal bust darts allow you to create a sweater that fits your body shape perfectly. The lace pattern is repeated on the sleeves and lower body, creating a beautiful contrast to the smooth stockinette.

Hands-down one of the best plant yarns on the market! Antigone is a sport-weight 100% linen yarn with a smooth and silky finish, perfect for summer tops, shirts and cardigans for layering. Linen likes to be washed (preferrably in the washing machine!) and worn and so your FOs will just get softer and softer over time.
