Christmas
Level: Beginner plus
A raspberry red sweater with an eyelet pattern and boat neck that sits very feminine and close to the body. The sweater is meant to be worn next to the skin, knitted in a material that does not itch. The eyelet pattern also keeps the sweater from feeling too warm.
Feminine. Classic. Red.
Styling
