River Birch
A women’s fitted pullover featuring an attractive leaf lace panel at the center front and travelling up the sleeves. The eye-catching collar can be rolled up or down, depending upon the look desired. Sleeves are elbow length and feature a puffed cap. The lace stitch pattern along the sleeves and the center panel create the look of long leaves.
The body is worked flat in one piece. The front panel is sewn on afterwards to give structure and make the pullover suitable for intermediate knitters.
