This long-sleeved pullover is sure to please your little girl. Perfect for her back-to-school wardrobe! It is knit from the top-down and includes a raglan yoke and a waistband - creating a smooth transition from the yoke to the body. The button bands are picked up after the body of the sweater has been completed. The center front features a pleat just below the waistband, adding just a touch of frill.
