Must Make Monday: The Sunday Brunch Sweater

by

Slouchy and oversized sweaters are in right now, and the yarnistas are always on the lookout for patterns that are both stylish and classic! The Sunday Brunch Sweater is precisely that. Designer Hiromi Nagasawa’s new pattern is a v-neck, top-down raglan that offers options to customize positive ease, body and sleeve lengths, and narrow or bold cuffs, hem, and neck bands. Its chic, clean lines will have you covered for a Sunday brunch out on the town or a comfy and casual muffin and tea at your kitchen table! Pair with a long denim skirt or wide-leg jeans and ballet flats for an on-trend look.

The Sunday Brunch Sweater was designed with several different yarns in mind: de rerum natura Ulysse, a sport weight Merino, held with de rerum natura Bérénice (55% Goat Mohair, 25% Silk, 20% Merino lace weight) for a warm and fuzzy sweater, or de rerum natura Gilliatt for worsted weight Merino that you can use on its own for this garment. All three are available in-store and online!

Another great option is the heavy DK weight, 50% linen/flax- 50% merino WOOLFOLK STRÅ—available in-store only.
