INFO
The HAVANA Sweater is a beautiful feminine blouse, featuring both long and short sleeves in the pattern. Designed by Mette Hvitved, the sweater is knitted in the round from the top down, eliminating the need for seaming. A small loop is crocheted (or created by your preferred method) at the back neck to form a slit. It is knitted with yarn intended for thin needles (size 3-3.5 mm) but is worked on larger needles (size 5 mm or as needed to achieve the correct gauge).
The result is a light and airy blouse with many beautiful details, perfect for year-round wear.
