Douce folie in English

Douce folie is a simple saddle-raglan sweater worked seamlessly from the top down in the fingering-mohair lace combination that we all love.
The ease as well as the boat neck are comfortable and just right – not too wide nor too narrow.
For its simplicity and wearability, you’ll reach it out again and again!
