The 70's – The Sweater is a statement sweater with a diamond motif, zigzag details and a rich play of colour that builds up through the whole garment. The high ribbed neck and the soft puff sleeves balance the graphic pattern and give the sweater a feminine, modern silhouette.

You can choose between two different yarn combinations that give the same fit but two completely different looks – from soft and sophisticated to bold and classic.
