Watercolor Meadow Knit Sweater Theresa

The trouble with most sweaters is that nobody ever says anything about them!

Just imagine wearing a painting — a whole summer meadow of yellow, coral, violet and green scattered across a soft knit — and having someone stop you to ask about it. Now stop imagining, because that is what this wildflower sweater does every time it leaves the house.

• A Real Piece Of Art
  The wildflower print runs edge to edge across the front, back and sleeves like a watercolor. There is no seam or panel breaking it up, so it reads as one continuous image.
• Color That Lifts The Face
  The soft yellows and corals near the shoulders throw warm light upward, which is the simplest trick there is for looking rested.
• Lightweight Knit
  It is fine enough to wear indoors through a long lunch without overheating, and it layers easily under a jacket when you head out.
• Needs Nothing Else
  Plain jeans and plain shoes are the right answer here. The sweater is the entire outfit, which makes it one of the fastest things in your closet to wear.
• Soft Against The Skin
  The yarn is smooth and gentle at the neck and wrists, so a print this vivid never comes with a scratchy trade-off.

If you have quietly stopped buying anything patterned because it felt like too much, this is the exception worth making. It is joyful rather than loud, and it will be the sweater you put on whenever you want the day to feel a little brighter — which turns out to be often.
