Rosy Cheeks Sweater by Novita Design Studio

Craft: Knitting

Rosy Cheeks is a feather-light sweater that brings effortless elegance to your everyday wardrobe. Featuring a refined lace cable motif, this design adds a touch of romantic sophistication to any outfit. The flattering cropped silhouette gives it a modern, Parisian-chic appeal—perfect for pairing with high-waisted jeans or skirts. Knitted from the top down in luxuriously soft Novita Helene yarn, Rosy Cheeks is as delightful to wear as it is to make. With its mix of textures and techniques, this pattern keeps your needles—and your creativity—beautifully engaged from start to finish.
