The Tall Grass Thermal Sweater was created to be a mix between an athletic pullover and a knit sweater. It has the versatility to be dressed up, worn casually, or even as part of an athleisure ensemble.

The Tall Grass Thermal Sweater is worked top down. The collar is worked first, folded over and knit together creating a tube for the tie. There is several rows of short rows, before working the remaining yoke with raglan increases.
