With its relaxed ease and sharp structure, Kinsac is a practical and beautiful pullover perfect for layering. Details like two front pockets and fitted, ribbed cuffs make Kinsac an ideal sweater for working with your hands, or just enjoying a cozy stroll.

Kinsac is worked flat and seamed, and incorporates two colours of Hinterland Range for insartia detailing on the sleeve cuffs. The flattering, gently-sloped v-neck is picked up and worked after seaming, and looks equally polished with or without a collared shirt below.

NOTES
This design is knit in pieces and then seamed together. The Front and Back are worked from the bottom up and the sleeves are worked from the top down. After the shoulders are joined and the sleeves are attached, the underarm and side seams are sewn together. The neck is then picked up and worked in the round. The colour work on the sleeves is worked in Intarsia. You’ll need two balls of A and 1 ball of B to work this section of Intarsia.
