With its relaxed lines and thoughtful shaping, the Coastal Effect Pullover feels as natural as its name suggests. Softly structured hems lead into a smooth, easy body, with shoulders that come together cleanly and sleeves that flow effortlessly for a comfortable, classic fit.

The bottom hems are worked flat, separately, then the body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. From there, the back and front are worked flat, then joined with a shoulder seam. Stitches for sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round down to the cuff.
