Blank Page Sweater
Blank Page Sweater is my first design released after nine years of break in publishing; in a way, it is a symbol of starting fresh with a blank page open.
The top-down seamless construction, clean stitch definition and bulky yarn make it a relaxing knitting project, which enriched with couple of spicy features takes you on a rewarding journey.
Instructions cover multiple shaping options, which gives you the comfort of creating a garment that is uniquely yours. There are two matching accessories – Blank Page Hat and Blank Page Headband – featuring the characteristic ribbing of the Blank Page Sweater. All three make the Blank Page Set.
