Made with lighter weight yarn, the Easy Street Sweater is just the right weight for the breezy days of autumn or spring. With its classic, top-down raglan shaping, it’s a breeze to make too! The “just right” fit is not too baggy and not too tight, with just a bit of ease. It’s the perfect transitional piece your wardrobe has been waiting for!
