Citylight Sweater
The Citylight Sweater is a crewneck raglan designed for minimalist everyday wear. Knit in Lion Brand Yarn Cottino, a lightweight cotton blend with soft structure and drape, the sweater is designed for seasonal layering and transitional weather.
Knit seamlessly from the top down, the sweater features relaxed raglan shaping, ribbed trim, and a stockinette body with an easy silhouette. The clean construction and understated details create a polished everyday sweater designed for everyday wear and life around the city.
