Hope Sweater Kit | Elenor Mortensen + Ainsworth & Prin

The stunning Hope Sweater by Eleanor Mortesen is a loose-fitting sweater with lace and cable patterns along all the edges. The circular pattern—in which individual lines first form smaller patterns and later come together to create a larger whole, where every detail, no matter how small, is important and symbolises the hope for greater respect and solidarity.

The pattern instructions describe the long-sleeve and short sleeve version and this kit is for the longsleeve version as shown in the phtographs where the designer recommends a positive ease of 10–15 cm for both.

This kit is only available in the suggested A&P Merino Silk singles in the colour shown in the photographs, Wormwood. Choose your size and the correct number of skeins will be added to the basket along with a copy of the Ravelry pattern. The pattern will be emailed to you in PDF form from the Raverly platform.
