May Replay
Delicate pink cables feel like spring to me. Introducing May Replay – a shaped, V-neck, hip-length pullover. It’s a re-imagining of May, an earlier design, and this time with 2 sleeve options – 3/4 length and long.
May Replay is worked bottom up, in the round, until the start of the V-neckline where it splits and is worked flat, back and forth. Sleeves are worked bottom up, in the round as well, with short row cap shaping, and set in. Stitches are picked up around the neckline for rib trimming. Enjoy!
