Saturdays are made to be comfortable and look pulled together and relaxed as you head to the farmers market or your favorite fiber festival. The Saturday Sweater is a relaxed, casual pullover. It has drop shoulders and a gently shaped boat neck that isn’t too wide or too close. The seed stitch borders give the Saturday Sweater a finished look and are knit as you go.
