Preston Pullover Pattern
Designed with positive ease and longer sleeves, the Preston Pullover is the perfect balance of style and comfort. The surprisingly lightweight all over rib is easy to do, and also flattering. Knit in Techno; a light bulky blend of baby alpaca, fine merino, and silk; this sweater is beautifully cozy with transcendent spirit.
