Inspired by quiet winter mornings, Andrea Aho designed a sweater to bring that calm indoors. It is roomy and comfortable, perfect for pulling on over pyjamas with your first cup of coffee, but refined enough for life outside the house, thanks to a drop hem and sculpted, billowy sleeves. The colourwork motif is formed from a simple five-stitch repeat that echoes sunlight filtering through snow-laden trees. The sweater is knitted top-down in Sonder Yarn Co. Sunday Morning DK, which lends both softness and structure. This is a sweater for slow mornings and bright days alike.
