A simple unisex pullover, Love Wins is the perfect everyday sweater for the little ones you love. Worked seamlessly from the top down, it features classic raglan shaping and a wide ribbed collar perfect for showcasing coordinating colorways.

This pattern can really showcase variegated yarns since there aren’t any complex stitch patterns that would compete with color changes. Any variegated yarn that has regularity to the color repeats is likely to pool in the body of the sweater since the stitch count remains the same from underarm to hem. If you would prefer to avoid pooling, alternating skeins every row or every other row is recommended.

Love Wins is a great canvas for stripes or colorwork and there are notes anywhere that the directions would be different in a striped or patterned sweater.
