Blithe Sweater
Blithe comfort… wear this cozy, stylish cross front pullover as a fashion statement or just for slouchy comfort! This style looks great with everything from tanks to turtles, sweatpants to jeans, to a maxi skirt and baubles for a night out…
Wear the wrap fronts low and open, or pin for more coverage.
Knit the size closest to your bust measurement for the best fit, or go one size up for extra slouch and layering.
Easy to knit, skills needed: decreases, M1 increases, basic short rows, and intermediate seaming.
Sweater is knit in pieces - back, fronts, sleeves, and seamed together.
