Sundsvall Sweater mini is a charming and slightly oversized children’s sweater with colorful embroidery. Inspired by Erika Aittamaa’s traditional Lovikka Mittens from the 1800s, this sweater combines simplicity with beautiful embroidery details that crisscross across the neckband and cuffs. The purled lines add a touch of humble detail to an otherwise very simple and comfortable design. Embroidery can be worked with spare yarn and the amount of strands and colors are entirely up to you!
ALL proceeds from sales of this sweater go towards the volunteer-run organisation Støt Ukraine.
