Dowses

Dowses is a colorwork sweater featuring a variety of geometric motifs. Inspired by a patterned dress I saw when browsing on Pinterest, it boasts fun, bold colorwork patterns. The wide sleeves, combined with a body that has A-Line shaping and a slightly cropped length, make for a modern fit that is easy to layer and style. Knit up in a monochrome palette using Juniper Moon Farm’s gorgeous Patagonia Organic Merino yarn, Dowses is sure to become your next statement piece!
