Meditation is the ultimate comfort knit. This lightweight sweater is knit in pieces, to make the most of the relaxed and comforting garter stitch. The side seams also bring structure to the otherwise loose sweater. DK weight yarn and big needles mean this sweater works up in no time. Stress-free to knit and wear, what could be better?
