Primary Pullover by TanisKnits | The Primary Pullover is based off of a design my grandmother made for my older brother in the 1970’s. Originally knit in pieces with lots of fussy finishing work, my version with the raglan silhouette and high quality superwash yarn means minimal finishing and a modern fit for today’s children on-the-go.
