from the designer

"Birkin was originally designed for Laine magazine and appears in issue 2. I was inspired by springtime in Scandinavia, and an image I saw of a young Jane Birkin wearing a crown of wildflowers. I just love the idea of a floral crown worn around the yoke of the sweater.

The sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down and the body is gently shaped into an A-line by changing needle sizes. The yoke design features a border of a delicate leaf pattern, which encases a 3-color floral motif and optional bobbles to provide subtle textural interest. The sweater has 3/4 length sleeves and a dropped back hem for a modern look"

Stay organized while you knit! Every Birkin sweater kit comes with a free Waxwing Yarn organic cotton project bag.
