Subtle color striping in the lacy scalloped trim at hem and cuff creates endless options in this classic pullover, designed by Pam Allen and knitted in wool/mohair Piper. Choose soft colors for a feminine piece, as pictured, take a different tack with bright contrasting pops of color, or go all neutral for a quiet stunner. There are infinite possibilities to personalizing this sweet sweater. March is worked flat from the bottom up and joined at the yoke for working raglan shaping in the round.
