Beloved Beatrix sweater

Everyone has a sweater they dream of. The perfect fit, the right colours, a design that feels like it was made just for them.

Beloved Beatrix is that sweater.

Named after a dear friend who inspired the design, Beatrix features a flattering classic silhouette with set-in sleeves and a beautifully textured heart motif on the front, crafted in intarsia colourwork and echoed in the sleeve detail for a cohesive, one-of-a-kind look. Made in soft DK weight merino wool, she’s the perfect companion for winter outings or curling up indoors.

Does this look like your dream sweater too?
