Godetia Pattern
Description
This capsule collection by Grace Akhrem is full of Spring color and exuberance. Clean lines and light shapes contribute to the playful tone!
This shrug proves that mohair isn’t just for winter: knit at an airy gauge in an open eyelet pattern, it can bring the lightness you crave for Spring, with just the hint of warmth you still need.
