Colmena by Irina Anikeeva
Craft: Knitting
This highly textured pullover is surprisingly sleek and sexy in Silky Merino. Flattering side shaping in the textured panels slides effortlessly over the shoulder and down the arm, while rich honeycomb cables cover the front & back. The hem is split on either side of the hip, giving this sweater a casual feel.
The Spanish word for hive, Colmena’s name references the all-over honeycomb cables on the body of the garment.
