Make it your way! The Over the Top V-Neck is a top-down raglan V-neck pullover with two distinct sleeve options, catering to your style preferences. Choose gracefully cascading bell sleeves to add a touch of whimsy to your ensemble. Or, opt for straight cuffed sleeves for a true wardrobe staple. The top-down construction ensures a seamless and personalized fit, while the V-neck adds a flattering neckline. Whether the bell sleeve resonates with you or the timeless appeal of the straight cuff, this pattern provides the perfect canvas for expressing your individuality.
What makes this design truly over the top is that you can use a variety of yarns to achieve your own unique look! Modeled photos show this pattern knit in Waterfall, but you could make it a mixed yarn masterpiece if that’s more your thing!
