About

This sweater was designed to be both comfortable and classic. The knit-like look of the stitches combined with the stripe pattern and oversized shape make this sweater just that: a go-to piece that will last for many seasons.

Though the stripes are horizontal, the mock rib stitch pattern creates gorgeous vertical texture. Specific details at the hem and neckline also make this a special piece. Choose traditional colors like cream and navy for your stripes, or go for something more bold like the blush and wine shades of the sample piece.
