Love Note Kit no.1 (Laine teinte à la main)

This sweet little sweater knits up quickly from the top down. The combination of mohair lace and single-ply merino creates a fabric that is floaty, soft and sensual. With a high-low hemline and two length options, what’s not to love?

Note: the lace pattern is both charted and written
