Verbena Pullover

Designed by Aubrey Busek

The Verbena sweater is inspired by the magical beauty of flowers found in our everyday lives. On a road trip, you might look out of the window and see wildflowers swaying in the breeze on the side of the highway. When you’re out running errands, you might suddenly find petals on your shoulders from blossoms falling off tree branches in the parking lot. These little bits of beauty from flowers provide an escape from the mundane moments of our daily lives and can transport you into a fantastic daydream. As you knit the Verbena sweater, you will work your way through a journey of structured cable patterns and methodical raglan shaping, and then when everything is complete, you’ll reach the embroidery, where you can enter your daydream and let your imagination run wild with floral patterns and colorful stitches.
