The Ethel Crewneck Pullover is knit top down in the round (raglan construction) using Mary Maxim’s Mellowspun DK. It features a folded crewneck collar, long tapered sleeves, ribbed hem and 6” of positive ease. This mindless knit is a delight to work up! And the yarn is a delight to work with— soft, affordable and cool to wear even during the summer months. I love how basic it is to knit and care for; I literally wash and tumble dry on low heat!
