The Ball Sweater was an 80s oversized sweater that everyone just had to have. This knitted sweater is inspired by its shape, but knitted longer so you can wear it as a dress if you’d like.

Knitted from the bottom front over the head and back down with 1 strand in each quality held together on the garter sts. The rib is knitted in Pickles Merino Worsted only. Sew in the sides and sew the sleeves to the sweater in the end.
