Product description

Color blocking achieves stylish new heights in this sporty pullover. The front and back are worked flat in intarsia, with increases and decreases on either side of the color change to achieve a faux-raglan effect. Saddle-shoulder sleeves are knit flat in a third color of Loft. The subtlest of A-line shapes gives League a neat fit that still allows layering over collared shirts. We chose soothing neutrals— Stormcloud, Sweatshirt, and Soot — for our sample, but adding a pop of bright color would amplify this garment’s playful side. Tallow, Camper, and Barn Owl, perhaps?

Designer: Véronik Avery
