The Minazuki Boatneck KnittedPullover is relaxed, airy and beautifully understated, the kind of piece that feels effortless the moment you slip it on. Worked in smooth stockinette, the fabric is interrupted by double–yarnover columns that glimmer like light skipping across water. Named for the serene blue of Japan’s Niyodo River, this simple yet striking design is elevated by the soft texture and playful colour bursts of Noro Kompeito.
 
With its easy boatneck and gentle drape, Minazuki is a wardrobe staple for warm days, quiet moments and mindful making.
