Much like the famed little black dress, every wardrobe needs a neutral sweater that goes with anything. Perfect for the capsule wardrobe, the Ebony sweater is knit in luxurious Bella Cash – a blend of superwash merino, cashmere, and nylon. This piece features a ribbed hem in classic black and white. Drop sleeves, a generous amount of positive ease, and a turtleneck create the ultimate cozy pullover.

PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is intended to be worn with a generous amount of positive ease around the bust. Working a size with less positive ease may result in sleeves that are too snug, so we recommend choosing the size with the upper arm circumference closest to your own upper arm measurement.

This pullover is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. After seaming, the neck band is picked up and worked in the round.
