Product Description
Sina is a wonderful light summer sweater. Its light A-line, the lower rounding and the interesting buttoned V-neck is as well an eyecatcher as the long buttoned sleeve edging. The sweater is knitted in separate pieces and sewn together afterwards. I created a rather short one, but it’s easy to customize length to your desired measurements, instructions of how to do it are given in the pattern. Use any summer yarn with the same yardage to create your own sweater style.
