Parisienne is a simple pullover with slightly ballooned sleeves. The shape is accentuated by a lightweight yarn that knits to a puffy fabric. This basic design can be dressed up or down by changing the accessories, making it a wardrobe staple.

The sample is worked in Berroco Gingham, a cotton ribbon yarn with lots of texture and it comes in a beautiful shade with the slightest hint of pink without being actually pink. This design would work equally well with a lofty wool yarn.

It is worked seamlessly from the top down, you can easily change the length of both the body and the sleeves.

This design comes with inclusive sizing, graded for bust size from 76 cm / 30 inches to 178 cm / 70 inches. Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
