The Blythe Sweater is a beautiful cropped design with a wide 3/4 length sleeve. The detailing on the front and sleeves adds a modern touch, and a style all its own. The Blythe looks great with all your high-waisted garments and is super cozy, perfect for cooler days and evenings. But if less cropped is more your style, the sleeve and body length are both flexible, so you can easily achieve the perfect fit.

Knit from the top down, the seamless construction is easy to try on as you go, to make sure the fit is just right. Knit using a Super Bulky weight wool, the Blythe Sweater works up quickly.
