This soft, boxy pullover in 12 sizes (XXS to L) and 1X to 7X has a relaxed, drop-shoulder fit that provides swathes of warmth while remaining light and airy. The body is knit in soothing stockinette trimmed with wide, flat ribbing, which is featured in the contrasting, tone-on-tone sleeves. With two neckline options—a dramatic V or cozy crew—and two body lengths included, it can be knit to virtually any desired length. Worked from hem to neck, in flat pieces, and seamed afterward for portability and a stable fit. Long version is approximately 4 inches longer at side seam.
