Zephyros Kit

This gorgeous raglan pullover starts with a deep V-neck designed to flatter every figure. Zephyros, derived from the name for a prevailing warm and gentle breeze, is a perfect lightweight project to get on your needles. The distorted 1×1 rib adds a lovely bit of texture and a ton of visual interest for very little effort. It is designed with a breezy 20 cm (8 in) of positive ease and in our delightfully soft Cirro yarn, where you can knit it cropped or work it to your ideal length.
