Spruced Pullover

$8.50

Spruced (pullover) is a DK weight, top-down drop-shoulder construction sweater, with a boat neck and slipped-stitch ribbing along the neckline. This design features a repetitive stripe pattern, accented with a lateral braid and contrast hem. The sleeves are adorned with a beginner friendly stranded-colorwork motif.

Spruced is written for two body length options: Cropped or Standard. The Standard-length body incorporates an extra stripe repeat and a slightly longer hem.

Spruced also includes sleeve length options! Choose from a Bracelet or Standard-length sleeve. Both versions feature a stranded-colorwork motif at the bottom of the sleeve just before the contrast cuff.

This is an intermediate level pattern.
