Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2007: “Poufed silhouettes, epitomized by Marc Jacobs’s bubble sweater for Perry Ellis, were all the rage in the ’80s. Updated here in a two colorway combo of Classic Elite Yarns’ ‘La Gran’ mohair, the ultra-oversized look still has legs. The pillowy tunic-length pullover, knit circularly in sections, is ribbed at the yoke, bottom bands and inset pockets.”
