Laura Pullover

A sweater to transition through the seasons—a sweet mock neck and a simple raglan yoke flow into a slightly cropped body and three-quarter length sleeves. This piece is worked at a worsted-weight gauge, so your yarn possibilities are endless! Mix yarns as we’ve done here, or pick your favorite worsted-weight yarn and have a go. Stripes, marls, color-blocking -- it all works!
