Aleli Short Kit

Aleli captures the playful ease of summer — handknit shorts inspired by the soft elegance of white Aleli  blooms. Light and breathable, they’re crafted in a luxurious blend of  baby alpaca, organic cotton, mohair, and silk, giving them a gentle halo, subtle sheen, and exceptional softness. Perfect for warm, sunny days, Aleli pairs effortlessly with any tee for a relaxed yet refined look, a summer staple with an elegant twist.

This kit includes the pattern (which will be sent through email as a PDF).
