Awash in calming blues and glimmers of gold, The Long Pause Pullover is an elevated everyday sweater. Clean raglan lines, a subtle allover cable pattern, and cozy mock turtleneck make this one the easy choice to wear over and over again.

Pullover is knit seamlessly in the round form the bottom up. Sleeves and body are joined to work the yoke in one piece.
