Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Spring 2006: “Ann Budd’s swingy pullover makes the most of a marled yarn. Wide ribs and a flared body and sleeves barely skim the body for an easy fit. The yarn, a blend of cotton and rayon, is comfortable next to sensitive skin, and it’s just right for the move away from wooly winter garments.”
