The Design

“Self-striping softness!”

This quick-to-knit sweater is a go-to for your casual wardrobe—airy, lightweight, and super comfy! Loose ribbing at the hem and cuffs gives it a lived-in look, while its straight sides give it a relaxed silhouette. This cozy simplicity allows for some fun with your yarn choices—whether you strand several lace-weights together for a marvelous marl or pick one playful bulky-weight!

For this version of our Easy Relaxed Pullover, we picked bulky-weight Lang . This yarn is 90% merino extra fine virgin wool, with a 10% touch of strengthening nylon. Long washes of shifting color—from sunset pinks and oranges to earthy landscape tones, to bright, exuberant rainbows—make for fun, gradient stripes in your knitted fabric. Let the yarn do the work!
