REVERSI by Julia Exner, aka @frl.staedtisch on Instagram, is a lovely cardigan that can be worn either way out. One side shows the look of the classic brioche knit, the other — supposedly the reverse side — shows the texture of the half brioche knit. If you add buttons on both sides, you get a fully reversible cardigan with two different sides and almost invisible vertical buttonholes.

Julia designed her classy Reversi in NL’s On Stage - Long Métrage (MC) in the colour Les châteaux de sable, held together with a thread of Silk Divine in Ivory (C1) alternating with Lemongrass (C2), giving a fluffy, lightweight textured fabric.

This design is featured in Laine Magazine’s Spring Issue 24.

We have curated gorgeous suggestions for your own Reversi. For better orientation, here is the list of each colour combination for you. C1 is on the right side, C2 on the left.
As always, feel free to switch and choose the shades to your taste.
