Paloma (meaning: dove; peaceful) is a simple and lovely design which incorporates features of both our Turtle Dove sweater and Comfort Zone poncho patterns.

Knit in the round from the top down featuring twisted rib at the neck, sleeves, cuffs, and hem, Paloma is a straightforward raglan-style sweater with a boxy, slightly cropped silhouette. This modern shape is easy to wear over dresses and tunics or with high-waisted skirts and pants.
