Nautical Mile Sweater

This simple nautical striped pullover is a perfect sweater for cold summer days, when the wind breeze is so cold that you need to throw wool on. The pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a raglan yoke and sleeve shaping. The body length of the pullover can be easily modified, if preferred.
