Over the past 14 months have you turned again and again to just the few items of clothing you love, parting with them only for as long as it takes to clean them? Paula Pereira‘s Daily Pullover is designed to be on that list of “clothes I’d quarantine in,” otherwise known as “keepers.”

Paula designs her classic hand knits from her home in São Paolo, but this sweater is at home anywhere, anytime. A flattering cropped length keeps it comfy, while a deep V with wide ribbing and neat raglan increases give the Daily Pullover its smarts.

Knit from the top down in one piece, you start the Daily Pullover at the neckline and work your way to the bottom ribbing, then go back and knit the sleeves in the round and pick up for the neckband. Thoughtful short rows along the way ensure a good fit!

And the beauty of it all? Linen Quill, of course! Our fine highland wool, alpaca, and linen blend is always our first choice for knitting favorite things. A nice, light fingering weight, a beautiful drape, and 55 mind-blowing colors to come from? We’ll take that any day!
