Berta Sweater

Name: Berta Sweater
Brand: Manos del Uruguay
Availability: InStock

Designed by Cecilia Lalanne & Maria Cano

Berta Sweater is worked in flat knitting and intarsia techniques, as a result we have a fun and very striking checkered design. Its simple construction, with straight sleeves and body, allows us to fully focus on the color work technique, achieving a loose and comfortable garment to wear every day.
