Variations on the statement sleeve are popular, and this puff-sleeve pullover is a perfect example. A scoop neck and cropped fit add to its on-trend feel, while the body ends at mid-hip in the alternate version. A dramatic cable fills the center front, adding elegance and shaping to accentuate the waist and bust. Careful shaping of the short full sleeves mimics the “bulb” shape of the center cables. Westhampton has the luxurious feel of pure cotton paired with crisp stitch definition to make this pullover a favorite for warm weather. Andromeda is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The cable and lace panel pattern is charted and written out.
