This is one of those sweaters I’m always looking for: a classic v-neck with a good fit. Brookings is the quintessential cabled v-neck pullover - with a bit of comfortable ease in the body and contoured increases at the raglan for a better-than-usual fit. Knit top-down and seamless in one piece, the pattern is easy to memorize - especially after the sleeve divide. If you’re like me, you’ll need more than one! 2” of ease is included in the pattern design, but if you like a little more room go up one size for a relaxed fit!
