Vesper is a Nordic-style colorwork sweater with a modern, clean-lined silhouette. The yoke centers a bold motif adapted from a 1970s Hungarian knitting book passed down by the designer’s adopted grandmother. Named for the evening prayer, Vesper honors her.

The sweater is knitted seamlessly, top-down. Short rows are incorporated into the neck ribbing for a better fit.
