Wild Sweet Love Sweater

*This is a knitting pattern download, not the purchase of the product shown in the photo.
 
This piece is a love letter to lost possibility. Love, which embraces so many things; Kindness. Resilience. Forgiveness. Nostalgia. Pain. Euphoria. Worked top-down in the round, featuring a dreamy colourwork pattern reminiscent of vintage photos, shadows, clouds and faded letters in dusty drawers, the textured eyelet yoke evokes hand-me-down lace baby blankets. This is wild, sweet love, lost and found.
