Croissant has been re-released as an indie pattern, with 4 additional sizes!

Designed for maximum comfort on those days we all seek to cozy up inside with a warm drink and a good book, the Croissant pullover makes the most of simple stockinette and a garter slip stitch pattern in a boxy-style pullover, with pops of color to brighten any winter blues. Blocks of garter slip stitch in a contrast color define the hem and cuffs. The garter slip stitch is repeated along the shoulders, with a final pop of color at the collar.

Size: XXS (XS, S, M, L) {1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X}; finished bust circumference 32 (36, 40, 44, 48) {52, 56, 60, 64, 68}“/ 81.5 (91.5, 101.5, 112.0, 122.0) {132, 142, 152.5, 162.5, 172.5} cm
