Make Believe Boulevard 

Look for me on Make Believe Boulevard, the street where my grandchildren play – for the next little while anyway. 

Introducing Make Believe Boulevard – a cropped pullover with a deep V-neckline.  Worked overall in stripes of knits and purls (3 x 3 Garter Rib), this is a top-down design, mostly seamless except for sleeves that are set-in.  Stitches are picked up along the neckline for ribbing there, the same that trims its hems.  This is a fun, wearable, multi-season knit and that works up quickly.  Enjoy!
