Lene Sansoe's patterns seamlessly combine a thoroughly modern sophistication with a certain delicate femininity. The experienced knitwear designer explores striking shapes, refined details, and lovely textures in a collection that includes cardigans, sweaters, a poncho, scarves, stockings, mittens, and possibly the prettiest hat you've ever seen.
