Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what dirty chai lattes (and essential knits) are made of. The swirling, traveling-stitch yoke of the Dirty Chai Pullover mimics steam rising from your favorite hot drink, with enough drape and ease for a comforting and flattering fit. The top-down construction, split hem, and near-tunic-length silhouette make for a relaxing afternoon in a coffee shop on a chilly day.
