Minimalist Rainbow is a comfortable pullover featuring multicolor stripes and optional pockets and turtleneck. The sweater is seamless, worked top-down and designed to be worn with 4-6”/10-15 cm of positive ease. The hip-length body is worked straight, without shaping, and finished with a wide rib section with optional pockets. The sleeves are worked in the same stripe pattern as the body and are finished with a long ribbed cuff.
