Sammal

Sammal is a classic textured button-down cardigan. Sometimes that’s all I want to reach for in my closet... It is worked from the top-down seamlessly with raglan sleeves, and it features tiny braids in the front that add a bit charm.

The Finnish yarn (from Tukuwool) that I used for this design is light and cozy at the same time, and it makes this little sweater a timeless beauty.
