Pine Forest Knit Sweater Ruth

Most patterned sweaters are either far too plain or far too busy, with nothing in between!

Just imagine a deep teal knit with a quiet line of pine trees rising along the hem — one idea, beautifully done, and nothing else competing with it. So stop imagining, because this sweater is exactly that kind of restraint.

• One Quiet Scene
  A row of pine silhouettes runs around the lower body in a slightly darker tone. It is subtle enough to read as texture from across a room and lovely up close.
• Deep Teal
  A blue-green this saturated is unusual and flattering, and it sits well with denim, grey, cream and every shade of brown.
• Gentle Brushed Knit
  The yarn has a gentle fuzz that makes the sweater feel warmer than its weight and keeps it pleasant straight against the skin.
• Wide, Simple Neck
  The neckline sits wide and low enough to show a collar or a necklace, and gentle enough that it never presses at the throat.
• Straight Relaxed Body
  Cut straight from shoulder to hem so it skims the waist rather than gripping it, with ribbed cuffs that stay put when pushed up.

If you have been let down by a bold patterned knit that felt like too much after one wearing, this is the calmer choice that lasts. The colour is rich, the accent is quiet, and it will earn its place as the sweater you put on whenever nothing else feels right.
