Heart & Homebody

$8.00

Heart and Homebody is a top-down raglan construction sweater, knit seamlessly from the neck to the split hem. Knit in worsted weight semi-woolenspun yarn (that is held double throughout to create a bulky weight fabric) this color-block sweater is designed to be worn like a relaxed fit comfy sweatshirt – perfect for layering or as an easy-to-throw-on piece for a chilly evening.

Heart & Homebody was designed to be finished as a short sleeve sweatshirt sweater, and features playful eyelets, wide stripes and a split hem for a comfy fit. The neck stitches are picked up at the end to work the collar as either a stand-up collar with eyelet detailing, as shown in the sample (Style A), or as a crewneck with flat 1x1 twisted ribbing (Style B).
