Want a sweater that flows effortlessly from the needles? A sweater, classic in shape, but made distinct by the yarn used? Well, you've got it.
In fact, today's pattern will help you create a long-sleeved sweater with a fancy rib stitch, voluminous due to it being made from our pure cotton Stromboli tape. It is without motifs, it is not openwork, and has no embroidery. However, its strong suit is that it is a simple, but at the same time remarkable sweater. We love the look of it over a pair of jeans. How about you?
Make sure to check out on the store where you will find many colours of Stromboli tape. Take a look, and choose the one that most inspires your creativity!
