Overview
What's in the kit
Cecilia is a long women’s Léttlopi sweater by Tove Richter — a design born from playing with colour: she knitted it in three colourways to begin with, and more have followed. This is the Apricot version: warm yellow-orange apricot with the pattern in light beige, oatmeal, acorn and a touch of grape. Léttlopi is breathable, water-repellent and hard-wearing, comfortable indoors and out. Tove Richter is a Norwegian designer who knits almost exclusively with Icelandic wool.
Included

Why you'll love it
- Made to play with colourTove Richter designed Cecilia to play with colour and first knitted it in three colourways: apricot, fuchsia and blue. This is the apricot one.
- Pick your necklineThe pattern gives the original low, wide neckline with 2 cm of rib, a 6 cm semi-high neck, and a 16 cm high neck folded double.
- Warm yoke coloursAn apricot body under a yoke of light beige, oatmeal, acorn and a little grape. The same colours edge the hem and cuffs, above a light beige rib.
- A lower front necklineGerman short rows across the back, at the top of the body and again at the start of the yoke, bring the front of the neck lower than the back.
- Apricot, or your choiceKeep the apricot or pick another Léttlopi shade for any of the five colours in the colour picker, at no charge.
