I designed this sweater for a dear friend. The lacy shells make it perfect layered over a tee with jeans for a crisp autumn day; the cozy alpaca keeps the chill away at night. The nearly seamless, top-down construction makes it easy to fit; make one to perfectly fit your own best friend, and another for yourself.
