Delicate yarn in delicate colors makes this pullover become a desirable warm weather top. It has enough flare for comfort, but still not too slouchy so it will feature your best body lines. The shaped hemline brings an interest and will look good with either a lightweight “flying” skirt, or your favorite jeans. Sleeve construction allows a nice fit without any pulling. This pullover is worked from bottom up, back & front are worked flat separately; sleeves are worked top down with short rows shaping; the combination of intarsia and stranded techniques are used for the colorwork, worked from the charts.

Finished measurements: 35 (39.25, 43.5, 47.75, 51, 55.25, 59.5, 63.75)” / 89.25 (100, 110.5, 121, 130, 140.5, 151, 161.75) cm bust. Recommended positive ease is 3”- 3.75” / 8 cm - 9.25 cm, depending on the size.
