The Kiawah Sweater is about to become your favorite grab-and-go pullover. Inspired by old photos of my Gamma and Poppy, each pictured wearing irregular stripes, plus one photo of me as a baby in a little pink striped onesie, this sweater combines all three into one cozy, meaningful design. The result is a relaxed pullover that plays with stripes in a fun and unexpected way, mixing varying widths and colors around the body to keep things interesting from the very first round to the last. Work it up in the navy, dune, and flamingo colorway shown, swap out the pop of color for something that feels more you, or go fully custom with a palette that tells your own story. Because the best sweaters are the ones you’ll actually wear and make memories in.

This sample was made using the delicious DK Yarn from The Wandering Flock.
Color A Navy
Color B Dune
