Golden Dust by Pope Vergara

Golden Dust is a seamless top-down sweater, perfect for trying on as you knit.

This design brings together different textures to create a truly unique piece: a delicate lace yoke and a braid worked with i-cord technique. Both elements can be made with or without beads, depending on your preferred style. If you choose to add them, the beads bring a shimmering touch that evokes golden dust suspended in the air.

A light and enveloping garment, perfect for those who love detail and the playful combination of materials.
