The Toivo Tee is a slightly oversized summer sweater designed to be knitted from yarn made of recycled cotton. The design features the use of three colors, but the sweater could just as easily be knitted with one, two, or multiple colors. Feel free to experiment by making each stripe a different color. The oversized fit makes it a breathable and comfortable summer knit.
