Say hello to the Watchtower Pullover! Inspired by the climbing ladders on a watchtower, this raglan pullover is your favorite, broken-in sweatshirt, revisted. With options to modify the neck, sleeves and hem you may customize this piece to your hearts content! We chose to marl together 2 yarns--a heavy fingering and laceweight suri, creating a heavy DK/light worsted fabric. You may do the same or opt for a single strand of your favorite light worsted weight yarn. Everyone needs this sweater--you’ll reach for it when want to look put-together but feel cozy and comfy at the same time. We know you’ll knit this classic pullover more than once!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this pattern you will receive a digital download at checkout.
