I wanted a sweatshirt-type sweater that made me feel fancy. Something so simple and comfortable but with a pizzazz factor. Something that made me feel put together and the coziest I’ve ever been. And so, the pathways sweater was born! Designed with a loose gauge and suri plus fingering weight to make a fuzzy, flowy fabric and intentional shaping and seam lines to add a professionally-tailored look, this sweater is made for a casual brunch, coffee chats, and whatever elevated cozy events life throws at you!
