Southold Sweater

Description

Southold is knit in one piece from side to side and features reverse stockinette stitch, elbow-length dolman sleeves, twisted ribbing, and a hint of lace behind the neck. Linen yarn lends the sweater just the right drape, three-season wearability, and a feel that only improves the more it’s worn and washed. The Southold sweater is designed to be worn with at least 2″ of positive ease for an easy fit, and the sample shown is the 35″ size worn with 3″ of ease.
