Claudita
"If I had been a better embroiderer when my daughter was still a child, this cardigan would have been for her. The arching flowers, applied by my dear friend Midori, are a beautiful addition to an otherwise everyday, soft knit."
Arvi
"My son, like many babies, was born without hair. A warm hat is a winter necessity for any child — that is why my book would not be complete without a cold weather favourite like Arvi, named after this cute little wearer."
Lanita
"I originally designed this pullover for an adult but couldn't help but imagine how cute the frilly cuffs would look on a child. Lanita can be knit in soft pastels or bold colours for a very different yet equally lovely result."
Oscar
"Oscar was inspired by my son, who was an energetic and adventurous child. As such, he always wanted his arms as uninhibited as possible, even on the chilliest of days. This modern take on a traditional vest is sure to keep your child's chest warm on colder days, while leaving the arms free."
