GAEL is an exquisite addition to the WINTER CROCHET collection, ideal for those who appreciate the beauty of craftsmanship. This unique design features a combination of crochet and handknit techniques, showcasing intricate crochet motifs skillfully worked together to create double-width panels for the front and back. The sleeves are designed as single-width panels, making this piece both stylish and comfortable.

To bring this beautiful design to life, the body and sleeves are completed by knitting off the crochet panels after carefully picking up stitches along the side edges. This clever construction adds depth and texture, offering a warm and cozy feel perfect for the colder months. The finishing touches include a cozy welt, snug cuffs, and a refined neck trim, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the garment.
