Detail
Daimi Sweater is an elegant and light sweater with a saddle-shoulder construction. The sleeves are loose and feature a wide lace border along the edges. The sweater is worked mainly in the round and using 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout.
The body is worked in stockinette stitch from the top down while the sleeves are worked from the bottom up in both lace and stockinette stitch. You begin with the neckband and continue with neckline shaping using German short rows while working the saddle shoulders. Work is divided at the underarms and the body is continued in the round before being finished with a folded hem. Sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up and later grafted together with the armhole stitches.The lace pattern is charted only.

Needed something warm but polished for my freelance video calls and this nailed it the camera loves the soft sheen and I stay comfortable through back-to-back Zooms no static no rolling cuffs no weird stretching the delivery person even left it in the shaded spot by my door on a hot afternoon

Wore it to my mom’s birthday dinner and she whispered 'you look like you stepped out of a magazine' the silhouette is effortlessly elegant and the knit doesn’t cling or bunch the package arrived with a hand-stamped thank-you card and zero plastic tape

Put this on before my coffee date at that quiet bookstore café and immediately felt calm and confident the weight is just right not too heavy not too thin and the subtle texture catches light beautifully shipped in recycled paper wrap with a sprig of dried mint — such a lovely touch

Nice quality and the oatmeal color is soothing but the size ran a bit small I ordered my usual medium and it fits like a small so I’ll exchange for large the fabric itself is dreamy though and the seams are clean and reinforced
Dr. C***********arber
Wore it teaching my high school art class all day and didn’t once feel itchy or stiff the shoulders move freely and the length covers my waistband perfectly no awkward gaps when raising my arms shipping was lightning fast and the note said 'Made with care' — felt real not generic

Love the fit and texture but wish the charcoal came in a slightly deeper tone it’s more heathered than solid still super soft and warm though and the stitching is flawless shipped fast and the return label was pre-printed just in case

Wore it to my first in-person team meeting since remote work started and felt instantly put-together the drape is so flattering on my frame and the neckline doesn't gape when I lean over my laptop shipping took only 3 days and the box had zero plastic waste which made me smile
