Marianne by Åsa Buchta

Craft: Knitting

Stylish and comfortable, Marianne is the ultimate layering piece with a relaxed fit and cozy details. The body is worked in one piece from the bottom up with sleeves picked up and worked down in the round. Patch pockets add a useful finishing touch for this everyday “coatigan” that’s perfect for the bustle of busy days.
