Distinctive side and shoulder details make this reverse stockinette pullover fly true. Narrow columns of crossed stitches travel up the sides and beneath the sleeves to flow into the raglan lines at the yoke, with tendrils of crossed stitches joining the confluence to form a striking pattern.

Long lines and waist shaping make this pullover elegant as well as comfortable.
