Martine

$10.00

At first glance, Martine might appear to be a simple raglan, but it is so much more. The all-over knotted stitch creates wonderful texture to a perfectly fitting sweater (extra attention was put into the raglan shaping to ensure this). Martine can be worn alone in warmer temperatures or layered for additional warmth.
