Stay Cozy is a comfy, slouchy V-neck pullover in two luscious yarns held together. The casual drop-shoulder sleeve pulls in at the cuff, giving this simple sweater an edgy look. The sweater is worked in separate pieces and seamed, with stitches being picked up along the armhole edge for the sleeves.
