Le Knit (Lene Holme Samsö)
Cara means friend in Irish, and the Cara sweater can truly become a faithful companion. It is knitted from the top down in 100% wool and is almost impossible to wear out. In addition, it gets softer the more you use it. The patterns are traditional Irish Aran patterns, which give the sweater a dense structure. The sweater also has a good fit because the side pattern - which is also on the inside of the sleeves - is without cables.
