Porter Pullover 2 by Meghan Babin is a handsome and classic redux on her Porter Pullover 1 and Porter cardigan. An essential addition to her Porter Series, Porter Pullover 2 is a pullover version of her Porter cardigan, featuring all the same sophisticated and timeless cables as the original.

The biggest visual difference between Porter Pullover 2 and Porter Pullover 1 is this unisex/menswear version features a folded crewneck instead of the v-neck of the womenswear version.

Made using ASTM for Men, meaning it’s designed using the standardized measurements for menswear, this pullover sports longer sleeves and lower body, as well as a deeper yoke, but can easily be modified for a more petite frame.

Eternally TEAM SEAM, this sweater is worked from the bottom up in pieces from optional tubular cast ons. The neckband is picked up and worked in the round after seaming. A final wet block sets the seams and neckband.
