Are you looking for a pullover as light as the spring breeze it’s named for? Or maybe you want a sweater that looks and feels fabulous in every season? Well, then Zephyros is the pullover for you!

This gorgeous raglan pullover starts with a deep V designed to flatter every figure. Then you can pick your path! Will you choose a light and breezy tee or a glorious puffed-sleeve pullover? (Or you can do like me and knit both of course!) The distorted 1/1 rib adds a lovely bit of texture and a ton of visual interest for very little effort.

Designed with a breezy 8”/20 cm of positive ease, you can move with the wind! Knit it cropped or work it to your ideal length, get ready to fall in love!
