Soft Structure for Adults
Soft Structure for Adults
Everyday, three-season pullover knitting pattern
Soft Structure is the wearable one. The pleasurable knit. Engaging, comfortable, and just right for against-the-skin three-season wear.
The Soft Structure pullover features simple cables on the body, while the sleeves showcase wedges of contrasting panels of reverse stockinette stitch. A gentle and modest v-neck collar is finished with a peek of ribbing, and the curling stockinette stitch bind-off echoes the texture in the sleeves and body.
This sweater has also been written in children’s sizes, you can find it here.
