This is a simple, essential, trendy pullover that effortlessly complements any wardrobe. It features a casual, slightly oversized fit for added comfort. The pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down, incorporating a raglan yoke and sleeve shaping. The body length is easily adjustable to suit your preference. The design explores the contrast of textures by featuring super bulky bouclé merino as the main yarn for the sleeves and body, paired with a smoother, silkier plied merino wool used for the neck ribbing, cuffs, and hem.
