Orion Pullover by Swans Island

Orion Pullover by Swans Island

The Orion Pullover has graphic appeal featuring two strategically placed bold stripes flanked with a contrasting border.

Simple Garter and Stockinette stitches allow intriguing patterns to emerge as you knit the Dip Dyed merino wool yarn stripes. Grounded with a field of solid natural coloured Washable Wool, this simply shaped boxy pullover has crisp side slits, slim modern sleeves, and a simple roll edge neckline.
