Some sweaters just feel like they belong to you. Near & Dear is that kind of knit.

Soft, cozy, and gently oversized, this is the sweater you reach for on slow mornings, long walks, and those in-between days when you want to feel wrapped up but still look effortlessly put together. It has that easy, lived-in comfort you want to sink into—the kind of piece that stays close and makes anywhere feel like home.

The sweet little dotted stripes add a playful, subtle detail that keeps both the knitting and the finished sweater interesting, without ever feeling busy. Calm, rhythmic knitting—with a quietly special result.
