The Aril Sweater is a top-down raglan knit sweater featuring a seed stitch textured sleeve. The name of the sweater was inspired by the colorway used to knit it, Pomegranate, and the jewel-like seeds you find when you open one up. Using a bulky weight yarn, you will have a beautifully knit piece to wear in no time at all.

Available in sizes XS- 4X, Bust sizes (in inches): 28-30, 32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50, 52-54, 56-58. Piece finishes with 2-4” of positive ease from starting bust size. If your measurements are towards the smaller side of the bust size, you will have the most ease, so choose your size accordingly.
