Stripes of Contrast
Preorder the book from here
Spring doesn’t often burst forth all at once, but rather emerges in fits and starts, with up and down temperatures and vestiges of winter tarrying into March or even April. This transitional pullover mimics that back-and-forth of seasons with alternating textured stripes, subtly adding a sense of flair to this basic wardrobe staple.
