Romantics Pullover

The Romantics pullover is a modern-day ski sweater for those who love love. The yoke features twisted stitch hearts sandwiched between a lace and twisted stitch pattern motif. The body is slightly cropped and tapers in at the hips in an ode to the fit of vintage ski sweaters. Knit up in The Scottish Yarn Festival’s DK yarn, a lovely wool blend base available in a variety of pretty shades, the Romantics Pullover would be the perfect design to wear on the slopes or snuggled by a fire with your significant other in the lodge!
