The Hoatzin Pullover marries easy knitting with thoughtful details, creating a statement piece that is sure to be noticed. Worked in the round from the top down, simplified nupps create two subtle bands of texture before continuing in easy stockinette. Flirty ruffles on the sleeves are the crowning detail that sets this pullover apart.
