Lancelot by Sabine Riefler
For this traditional Aran I have used a very soft cashmere-merino blend that small knights will adore. It is a timeless design that makes the sweater a classic to be handed down through the generations; a true heirloom design.
This sweater would not only have protected Lancelot on his quests, but will keep modern knights warm and cozy both outdoors and indoors throughout the cold season.
This pullover is knit in the round up to the armholes. Then a new ball is joined and back and front are worked at the same time. The shoulder features a classic saddle shoulder.
