Nightingale Pullover is the perfect easy-going pullover sweater for the fall through winter! When I revamped my Nightingale Cardigan sweater, I realized I would love a pullover version. The neckline is swapped out for a crew neck, the length was shortened (but it’s worked top down, so feel free to lengthen as desired), and I removed waist shaping for a relaxed feel.

In the end, I had no idea that I’d love this sweater this much! I’m wearing it in these pics with a hair of negative ease (-2”/5cm), and is so so comfy! I’m already working a second version with a bit of positive ease too!
