Varsity style feels fresh in springy American Targhee wool — what could be a more classic pairing? Show your spirit with the cheery contrast striping on Veasey’s deep V-neck collar and cuffs. Style it cropped and a little boxy, as shown, or knit up a longer, classic fit. With seamless top-down raglan construction and short row shaping, it’s elementary — the only test will be choosing from Arbor’s brilliant palette of colors.

Construction

  • This pullover is worked from the top down, beginning with a provisional cast on. The back neck is shaped with short rows, and then raglan shoulder shaping is worked to the underarm, where body and sleeves are divided. Body is worked flat until the deep V-neckline is completed, and then it is joined and worked circularly to the hem. The sleeves are then worked to the cuff.
