The Design

“So soft coziness.”

This quick-to-knit sweater is a go-to for your casual wardrobe—airy, lightweight, and super comfy! Loose ribbing at the hem gives it a lived-in look, while its straight sides give it a relaxed silhouette. This cozy simplicity allows for some fun with your yarn choices—whether you strand several lace-weights together or pick one, pretty aran-weight!

We knit this version of the Easy Relaxed Pullover in perhaps the softest yarn in Isager’s range—Soft. This aran-weight yarn has a chainette-style strand made of organic Pima cotton blown through with downy alpaca fibers. The result is a lightweight, airy yarn with a gentle, velvety halo! Soft is a great choice for knitters who love a fluffy look, but find fuzzy mohair yarns a little too ticklish. With a pretty color palette of sweet accents and natural neutrals, Soft is a beautiful addition to any knitter’s basket.
