Alice

Introducing Alice – a figure flattering, color-block pullover with a V-neckline and just-below-elbow length sleeves. Worked in stockinette stitch overall and trimmed with 1x1 rib, gentle shaping occurs along the edges of its front and back center panels. Side panels are worked evenly with ribbing positioned at the waist. This design is worked bottom-up with easy seaming to join its panels. Sleeves are worked in the round and set in. Alice’s modular components make this a fun, take-along-anywhere project. Enjoy!
