Marls are a must-have, and the sky’s the limit in choosing your color pairing for this marled hoodie in doubled Chickadee, designed by Melissa LaBarre. Pair neutrals together, or combine a neutral tone with a pop of color for a high-contrast cozy sweater. This raglan pullover is worked in the round beginning at the neck, with stitches for the hood picked up afterward. Pockets and a flattering tunic length round off this live-in-me piece.
