I began my journey as a knitwear designer many years ago… And sometimes it was a very lonely job. But somehow along that journey I met a very special friend, Julie, and every since I have felt much more confident and I’ve always had someone to ask for advise and opinion.
A few months ago I was going to travel and I needed a new project to carry with me (something easy but beautiful) and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to create a new design as a tribute to my dear friend, with whom I share most of my tastes.
Therefore, Julie’s wrap is based on Julie’s favorite elements, which happen to be my favorite elements too!
This is a very simple design, with a rectangular body featuring an ocean of garter stitch, a lot of twisted ribbing and of course: a bobble edge. The most important thing: It’s super elegant and warm at the same time.
I love you dear Julie, I hope this design makes you proud!
You can find Julie as @evieandlily everywhere.
