Sometimes you just want to cozy up in a sweatshirt disguised as a sweater! I love loungewear that has a more polished, structured look, and found myself inspired by neoprene runway pieces with stiff collars and unusual shapes for this pullover.

Yardage
1690 (1880, 1960, 2110)((2300, 2515, 2670, 2805) yards / 1547 (1720, 1792, 1932) (2102, 2299, 2442, 2564) meters in worsted weight yarn

Calling this yarn a DK weight might be a little bit of a stretch, as I found it performed beautifully at worsted-weight gauges. This is good news for those of us seeking a way to stretch yardage!

I have also included some alternative yarn suggestions:

Noro Kureyon(くれよん) - Japan
