Autumn Forest is a beautifully reimagined take on the classic raglan sweater, designed with our soft and long-wearing Romney + Merino (shown here in Quartz 02). Knitted from the top down, Eri’s sweater features a bateau neckline and simple crossed stitches that run down the length of the sleeves, adding both movement and structure. A textured leaf pattern along the lower body adds sculptural detail and shows off Romney + Merino’s beautiful stitch definition. And with just enough positive ease to add a cozy drape, the result is a pullover that is sure to become your go-to for all your Autumn adventures.

Shown in size 41¼ / 105 cm with 7-8” / 17.5-20 cm positive ease.
