My Favorite Knit Sweater is the kind of knit you’ll reach for again and again—soft, washable merino wool, bold offset stripes, and a flattering V-neck that feels just right. This sweater is designed to skim the body (not cling), with shaping that makes the shoulders feel tailored, the hips feel comfy, and the overall fit feel like “YES, this is the one.”

Those offset stripes? They keep the eye moving and give the sweater a modern look that’s fun to knit and even better to wear.
