ABOUT THIS DESIGN
This design was inspired by athletic sportswear. Superfine merino wool is wonderfully soft and makes it very wearable with a shirt, t-shirt, or, what the heck, no shirt at all. The sleeves and body are worked separately in stockinette from the top down, then sewn together to create a classic crewneck.

THE YARN
