This trendy, ribbed, loose-fitting pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up, divided at the armholes and worked flat to the shoulders. Extended drop-shoulder sleeves and body use a stripe pattern without bi-colored purl bumps for a clean division between colors. Combine ribbing and stripes beautifully together! Pattern is written for oversized length (shown) and cropped length.
