I’ve been dreaming of this sweater ever since Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus landed in my hot little hands. The softness of this yarn gave me immediate dreams of a big, boyfriend sweater in which to lounge around the house all the time. At long last - it is done! And better than having to endure a boyfriend to get a nice, boxy oversized sweater. Better Than is an easy, top-down raglan, leaving you very minimal finishing at the end. The whole sweater from cast on to wearing it is ultimate comfort!
