Blume’s classic shape is complemented by a gracefully curved hem and customizable details. A sleeveless silhouette gives you endless layering opportunities, while optional sleeves make this garment your go-to pullover.

Construction
The pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then seamed at the center front, center back, and shoulders. Instructions for sleeveless or with sleeves are included. A decorative neckline and armhole edge (for sleeveless version only) is worked circularly from picked-up stitches.
