Not every sweater has to play by the rules. With its cropped silhouette, rolled hem, and chunky texture, Tomboy Sweater strikes the perfect balance between playful and effortless. It's the kind of sweater that looks just as good with jeans as it does layered over a dress, combining a modern shape with an easygoing attitude that feels fresh season after season.
Knit in our signature Merino No. 5 yarn, this sweater delivers the satisfying progress that chunky knitting is known for. The simple silhouette and distinctive details create a look that's unmistakably Loopy Mango—making Tomboy Sweater a favorite project to knit and an even bigger favorite to wear.
The body is knit bottom up flat in pieces. Stitches for the sleeves and neckline are picked up from the body and worked in the round. Sleeves are worked from shoulder to cuff.
Note: The hem of the body is intentionally designed to roll.
