Must Make Monday: Jordy

Must Make Monday: Jordy

The weather is warming up, crocuses and daffodils are poking their heads well above the ground, and it’s starting to feel like spring!  It just so happens that a timely delivery of Quince and Co. Whimbrel found its way to space filled with a load of lovely new colors in addition to last year’s brightest. We have been daydreaming of what to make ever since.

The yarnistas have been really digging wardrobe staples this year, and the Jordy sweater is just about perfection. Its bold, timeless stripes add a touch of whimsy, but this classic oversized raglan will fit in as your new favorite spring sweater. The cropped profile makes it ideal or layering over both dresses and button-downs, and knit in cotton with long sleeves means it may in fact, become the elusive Mid-Atlantic three-season garment. Knit on US 5s & 7s this sweater will work up quickly, just in time for spring!
