ABOVE THE deep garter stitch band on this funnel neck sweater is an asymmetric panel in an unusual textured lace pattern, followed by an asymmetric section of ribbing. Sanna Mård Castman's design is knitted in Scheepjes' Secret Garden, which is a silky-soft, cool and draping yarn with a texture that's reminiscent of hand-spun yarn. Secret Garden is available in a range of lightly blended shades, as well as more variegated options.
