Yarn kit for the Esther Sweater by PetiteKnit.

This beautiful sweater with the unique pattern that combines spikes with seed stitch is already a classic! The pattern is not difficult to knit and looks so beautiful!

You can wear the Esther sweater all year round, it is not too thick and not too thin and yet super soft and really light.

The sweater is worked in rounds from top to bottom, first the shoulder section is finished, then the front shoulder is knitted on and finally the body is finished in rounds. The sleeves are also completed in rounds.

We have put together a yarn package with a yarn alternative for you because we think ITO Yarn is so incredibly good and suitable! You knit your Esther Sweater with So Kosho and Sensai from ITO Yarn. It is super light and soft thanks to the fantastic Sensai and the cashmere content of the So Kosho.

The Esther Sweater is guaranteed to be your favorite sweater!
