Our Varsity Sweater starts with a high neck and a deep raglan yoke for a boxy-yet-flattering fit. The sleeve detail is an excuse to add more color to your stash — or a chance to show off your favorite leftover hand-dyed colors and bases. Take this comfortable raglan from basic to sporty in three stripes flat!
