The Annabella Pullover embraces a classic silhouette with refined and punctuated details. Knit from the top-down and worked in the round, the raglan seams and blouson waist are followed with a fitted 1x1 twisted ribbing through to mid-hip, creating a flexible fabric that graciously flatters so many figures. The three quarter-length sleeves provide delectable comfort without overbearing warmth. The collar is worked separately, then sewn in, and has hidden shaping through the use of short rows to create natural arcs that gracefully cascade over shoulders. Added to the front of the collar are two buttons with i-cord toggle loops.

Inspired by the quiet moment when you first feel that one season has clicked over to the next, I created the Annabella Pullover in joyful observance of subtle details in the season changing: the first leaves golden at the edges, a cool mist that leaves dew on the whiskers of happy puppies on their way to the park, a breeze at your back that carries the gentle smell of early dusk on the horizon.

For pleasure and for purpose the season for knitting has arrived.
