Celebrate life with Vivat! Let yourself be seduced by the exciting play of its fantastic details and embraced by its cosy warmth. With its casual, straight cut, the sweater designed by Xiaowei Bourdet gives you a modern, uncomplicated look. Celtic-style cables flow artfully down the sleeves and continue down the sides and waistband for a fabulous eye-catching finish. With our Lovely Merino Treat, this exciting knit will run through your fingers almost too quickly.

Vivat is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom. Starting with the neckline in the round, you then work the right and left shoulder sections with the cable pattern in rows. For the front and back, you pick up stitches from the shoulders edges and shape the upper part of the body with short rows. The front and back are joined at the underarm, and the body is finished in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the body and are worked top down in the round.

The year 2022 is a very special one for us - we look back on 10 years of Rosy Green Wool. Time to remember and also to celebrate. Our collection this year is therefore called Decade. The individual designs honour our anniversary with their names in different languages. Vivat is a Latin cheer to celebrate someone.
