Description

Heirloom Tomato Pullover is a classic raglan sweater featuring a charming tomato-inspired pattern and multiple neckline options: crew neck, mock neck, mock turtleneck, or full turtleneck. It offers a timeless, elegant silhouette with a beautiful drape and a relaxed, comfortable fit.

The neckline is shaped using short rows after the ribbing is completed, creating a polished, refined finish.

Knit seamlessly from the top down, this sweater lets you try it on as you go to achieve the perfect fit. The pattern is available in 8 adult sizes, and each size includes its own dedicated chart for easy knitting.
