INSPIRATION

Sleeveless in Vancouver is a truly multi-functional and multi-seasonal garment! From the first glance it appears to be an infinity loop but look closer and you will see that it can also be worn as a sleeveless wrap cardigan or a summer top. Reversible Orenburg mesh sections are simple to knit and add interest. Knit in luscious merino/cashmere blend, this loop is luxury at its best.
