Friendship Pullover
Friendship Pullover
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Friendship Pullover is a compound raglan knitting pattern worked bottom up. The alluring cable knitting pattern flows from ribbing and into ribbing at the end, meeting other cables, criss-crossing like streams along the way, symbolizing the interconnected nature of our knitting community.
A tapered sleeve lends a sporty and modern vibe to this classic look, while the optional foldover funnel neckband makes it extra stylish. The resulting sweater is so easy to wear and style anywhere you go.
Knit this sweater to wear throughout fiber festival seasons, or to knit nights in at your LYS. I hope to see you at the festival!
