"For our Biches & Bûches sweater no. 79, I wanted a classic shape in one colour with an easy-to-knit stitch pattern and a play with texture, which magnifies Le Lambswool completely. The shape is more figure-tight than most of our other designs (deep love for oversize sweaters) and it has a high elegant and warm collar, and a rather short length with a cute split hem on the sides.
The colour is very natural and goes with everything in my opinion! I chose Le Lambswool, from our range of Le Petit Lambswool and Le Gros Lambswool, for this design as it is warm and still very light and soft. So fun to knit with and the result is wonderful!" - Astrid
