Almonds in space: an oversized boxi-type pullover but with a different construction. It features faux-seams on the shoulders and arms to shape the body. Increases are made next to the faux seams to give its shape.
The almonds in a contrasting color are shaped by working short rows.
The back is longer than the front for a relaxed look.
