What makes this pullover essential
Fabric & construction
We chose a cotton-rich blend for this v-neck because it delivers the softness of natural fiber with just enough synthetic content to resist wrinkles and hold color. The knit is substantial without feeling heavy, making it ideal for transitional weather and indoor layering.
Every seam is finished to prevent fraying, and the ribbed trim at the cuffs and hem is double-stitched for durability. The same attention to seam quality you’ll find in our cable-knit sweater carries over to this pullover. We pre-shrink the fabric before garment assembly, so the fit you try on is the fit you keep.
Sizing & fit
This sweater runs true to size with a relaxed silhouette through the shoulders and body. If you prefer a closer fit, we recommend sizing down one size; for extra layering room or a looser drape, stay with your usual size.
The v-neckline sits approximately two inches below the collarbone, deep enough to show a collared shirt underneath but not so low that it feels immodest on its own. Sleeves are cut to a standard length that works for most arm proportions, ending just past the wrist bone. The hem falls at the natural hip, providing coverage without adding bulk at the waist.
Care instructions
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. We recommend using a mild detergent and skipping fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce breathability over time. Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry for best results.
If wrinkles appear after drying, a quick steam or low-iron pass on the reverse side will smooth the fabric without damaging the knit. Store folded rather than hung to preserve the shoulder shape and prevent stretching. With proper care, this karen scott v neck sweater maintains its color and fit through dozens of washes.
