Madelinetosh x Mel Berg Near & Dear Kit

Soft, cozy, and gently oversized, Near & Dear 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. The pullover 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.

This is the sweater that lives on the back of your chair. The one you grab without thinking.
The one that stays Near & Dear, wherever you are.
