The Great Lakes Pullover is worked from the top down. It has dropped saddle shoulders that embrace a cozy and oversized silhouette while adding an element of structure. Shaping is thoughtfully integrated at key points, ensuring a perfect fit. The pullover features a high collar that hugs the neck with wide ribbing at the edges, completing the look for the Great Lakes.
