The Piens Milk Sweater was first published in my book "Crochet Sweaters with a Textured Twist", (Page Street Publishing, USA, 2023).
Piens combines aesthetics, simplicity and functionality, and infuses it with thoughtful craftsmanship and impeccable style. The down-flowing post stitch lines make this piece a complete classic, adding a touch of interest with the puff stitch panicles. The result is this ethereal design with a contemporary edge. Just as milk is the genesis of a new life, the classic Piens sweater is as timeless and essential, and never goes out of style.
