Knitting Pattern: Juhannusruusu Sweater (by Sara Rönnback)

The rose pattern and brushed alpaca yarn are a perfect match. This combination creates an uncluttered and oversized garment suitable for both everyday wear and festive occasions.

The pattern for the Juhannusruusu sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Pihlgren and Ritola knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Pihlgren and Ritola's iconic wallpaper patterns.
