Inspired by the beautiful wings of young swans in late summer, the Siipi sweater is a cosy and feminine knit with a relaxed fit. “Siipi” is the Finnish word for “wing”, a fitting name for the delicate lace motif that flows down the front of the sweater. Although intricate in appearance, the lace pattern is surprisingly easy to knit.
Designed by Anna Syrjänen, Siipi is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with the back. The sweater features a boat neck and split hems finished with a distinctive ribbed pattern. One strand of DK-weight wool is held together with one strand of silk mohair to create a soft, warm fabric with a beautiful halo and drape.
This knitting kit includes the yarn needed to make your own Siipi sweater in your chosen colourway:
- Laine x Novita DK yarn in the quantity required for your chosen size
-
Novita Edith Silk Mohair yarn, held together with the main yarn for added softness and lightness
The sample sweater is knitted in Tender Fog (DK) and Moment (silk mohair).
