The Mantra Vest is a true work of art where beautiful cable patterns create an almost meditative rhythm – stitch by stitch, like the knitter’s own mantra. The rustic Arctic Wool Aran yarn gives the vest natural warmth and depth, highlighting the beauty of the cables. This knitting project is both a visual delight and a serene knitting experience, inviting you to slow down and immerse yourself completely in the craft.
