The Frothy Pullover was designed to be a simple knit, but also to be savored like a good cup of coffee—it’s light and airy, like a head of foam. It features a twisted purl-stitch pattern worked in a fingering-weight Merino wool. The purl clusters in this easy-to-remember stitch pattern create an interesting texture and lacy eyelet effect without requiring any yarnovers.
