MARET

This sweater is named after Aleks’ great-aunt Maret, and it was inspired by a sweater likely knitted for Maret by her mother, Agnes. The original sweater featured a sewn-in zipper at the shoulder, which has been translated into a button opening on this simplified and modern mock turtleneck sweater. Maret is an all-over colourwork sweater featuring knitted braids on the hem. The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down, beginning with the neck and saddle shoulders. Steeks are placed to create openings for the sleeves.
