About the designs
Refined Knitwear is classic, feminine and clean knitwear designs for women.
All patterns are instructive and guiding with step-by-step guidance and videolinks showing the different techniques used in each pattern.
All models are top-down knits, and therefore it is always easy to adjust the length on both body and sleeves.
