When Harry met Lucy was inspired by two of my favorite rom-coms: When Harry met Sally and While You Were Sleeping. Harry wears an iconic cabled pullover when helping Sally move in. Lucy wears oversized pullovers throughout the movie. I believe she’s wearing her deceased father’s pullovers to connect with him. And Harry could be related to Lucy somehow. This sweater embraces the iconic 1980s silhouette with modern cables and knits up quickly out of Ultra Alpaca Chunky.
