The Sipoo Sweater is a relaxed circular yoke sweater, inspired by the historic Sipoo Tapestry, dating back to the 18th century. The high neckline gives the sweater a sophisticated look whit the delicate colorwork pattern cascading down the yoke, bringing the tapestry’s story to life in knitwear form.

The sleeves are separated from the body and finished last. The body can be shaped into a slight A-line with increases. The look is completed with non-rolling stockinette edges.
