The minimally cabled Willow pullover will surely be a closet favorite—for him or her! The sweater is relaxed through the chest and tapers slightly to the hips, giving a classic unisex fit. Instructions for petite, standard, and extra-long sizing are included, making it easy to create the perfect length.
