Sasco
To welcome the cooler weather, I'm so happy to introduce my newest pattern, the Sasco sweater. This DK weight, top down pullover has the cozy cowl neck of my dreams and a lace insert around the waist, perfect for a bold or playful contrast color. I loved using a speckled colorway here. It was a perfect foil for the lush jewel-toned main color.
