Salty Days Sweater

$107.00

Designer Veronika Lindberg named this Salty Days Sweater after the salt fields in Portugal, creating the various sections to look a bit like the intricate patterns of salt flakes. Knitted from the top down with drop shoulders, you'll have oodles of knitting fun with this textural wonder. We love the double folded collar, too. Our kits of Knitting for Olive Merino will yield a lightweight yet cozy pullover that'll carry you through the seasons.

Our kit will make the first four sizes, XS to L.
