It’s the details that make this cozy weekend sweater come to life: contrast color facings, subtly striped sleeves, and pockets worked in reverse Stockinette. The body is oversized while the sleeves are slim-fitting, making for a look that’s both flattering and comfortable. Worked from the bottom up, with seams to help the sweater keep its shape.
