Kame

This pattern is available to download from Ravelry.

Tailored simplicity defines Kame, a staple pullover knit in airy Loft yarn. Stockinette stitch provides a clean canvas that draws the eye upwards and across the regal self-faced collar and delicate shaping along the shoulders and upper back. The short sleeves and roomy, cropped fit of Kame make it an easy layering piece, perfect for midsummer evenings and air-conditioned offices.
