This easy and enjoyable knit features DK superwash merino, stockinette, a striped pattern, folded collar and raglan sleeves. It is knit in the round from the top down. This is my absolute fave sweater to wear! Its so soft to wear and lovely to knit. The fit is beautiful and features 4” of positive ease. I love how basic it is to knit and care for; I literally wash and tumble dry on low heat!
