Put a pompom on it! Whether you’re bold enough to wear pompoms on the front of your sweater or you just want to keep it simple, the Pompom Pullover’s boxy shape, shallow v-neck and ¾-length sleeves make it a comfortable and stylish addition to your wardrobe. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up and with minimal finishing, you’ll knit this beauty in a flash, enjoying every minute of the plump and squishiness of the chunky weight yarn. And if you love mohair like I do, this pullover lends itself well to the extra fuzz. Offered in 17 sizes from 0-6 months to 5XL, there’s a fit for everyone. So, grab a Crazy-8 pack of mini poms for the kids or a Baker’s Dozen mini pom pack for the adults and, I promise, this pullover will bring you joy!
