Quince & Co Pilotis - PDF
Pilotis is a pure celebration of texture and drape. A sweeping ballet neckline, featuring twisted stitch cables and cushy ribbing, gives way to calming stockinette. With roomy sleeves that gather at the cuff, and a hi-lo hem artfully sculpted by short rows, this elegant pullover is one you’ll reach for again and again. Knitted in Tern, Pilotis is a timeless piece that will wear beautifully for years to come.
