Lighthouse Keeper Pullover
With a relaxed, easy sweatshirt-like fit, the Lighthouse Keeper Pullover can be knitted for almost every body and is easy to modify. The faux seaming details at the raglan, down the side of the body and on the underside of the sleeves, add interest to the sweater without fuss and hide any jogs in the rope texture stripe. A high double collar was added as a callback to classic fisherman sweaters.
