Description

Short Description: Tectonic by Emily Greene Knits. Tectonic is a modern, elevated take on your favorite cozy sweatshirt. This raglan pullover is knit seamlessly from the top-down, with a relaxed fit through the body and sleeves and a classic crew neckline. Tectonic's statement sleeves are cleverly shaped to create a structured, three-dimensional silhouette. Both body and sleeves feature traveling diagonal columns of stockinette stitch, which flow seamlessly into the ribbed cuffs and modern split hem. Finish off your Tectonic with a polished neckband of folded stockinette (as shown), or with a simple ribbed band.
