“Potala” is a seamless open-front cardigan, especially warm thanks to the yak-merino-silk blend and a ribbed back.

Raglan and yoke increases, skillfully integrated in the ribbing pattern, and an optically slimming shawl collar give this garment its air of sophisticated elegance, while incorporated positive ease and overlapping fronts make sure it fits worry-free every day.


“Potala” was created in collaboration with Dye Dye Done. If you would like to try the yarn used for the sample, you can find it here.
