Yarn: Cashmere Merino Bloom

Our Simple Stripe Pullover brims with charisma and handmade personality, but its classic design reads like a go-with-everything, only-sweater-I-need!

A simple top-down construction, you’ll begin with the collar, then yoke. Some short rows shape the neckline, increases form the raglan, and a purl column down the center back solves the “jog” problem of striping in the round, creating a beautiful detail that serves an ingenious function.
Single row striping gains added dimension when it is extended over 1×1 rib details at the hem, cuffs, and beautiful yoke collar. Not too high, not too low, the neckline feels elegant and modern, lying flat against the clavicle.
Knit up in our gorgeous Cashmere Merino Bloom, the Simple Stripe Pullover shows off this yarn’s many winning qualities: incredible softness, beautiful drape, and a lovely halo of warmth... just right for your new favorite sweater!
