BRIGHT SIDE is a basic raglan pullover which is knit in the round from the top down and features twisted rib at the neck, cuffs, and hem. It has a boxy, slightly cropped silhouette - a shape that is easy to wear over dresses and tunics or with high-waisted skirts and pants. We opted for an ultra-bright pink but this is a wardrobe staple that will look beautiful in any colour. In fact, why not knit several to suit all the sides of your personality? And if you’ve never knit with rustic wool, Rauma Finull / PT2 from Norway worked at this looser gauge makes a lovely introduction to the wonderful world of minimally processed yarn.
