Elementary colors mixed with stripes and fisherman’s rib create a bright and cheerful henley pullover called Sunshine & Rain. Worked from the top down with raglan sleeves, this pullover is easy to fit as you knit. A multi-stripe pattern keeps the work interesting, and the 2-color fisherman’s rib adds an unusual finish to the edges.

A fingering weight yarn worked at a loose gauge creates a warm and lightweight layering piece. Sunshine & Rain is meant to be worn with 2-3” negative ease in the bust; shown with 2” negative ease.
