Color blocking and changing textures keep this pullover interesting, while twisted stitches continue from bottom to top. The Crest Pullover showcases a mountain-inspired openwork motif in a light shade that shifts to a dark tone with reverse stockinette stitch. The relaxed neckline and long sleeves make it comfortable enough for everyday wear.
