The Piens Milk Sweater was first published in my book "Crochet Sweaters with a Textured Twist", (Page Street Publishing, USA, 2023).
In this sweater, you can imagine yourself as an artist “drawing” with post stitches and adding texture with puff stitch accents! The sophisticated yoke works as a lovely additional detail and balances the solid body. Using a hand-dyed yarn adds more interest and excitement to the alluring Malduguns sweater, creating a piece you’ll truly be proud to show off.
Both - long and short sleeved options are included.
