~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sands Point is a casual, summer henley. Garter stitch detail at the sides, raglan lines and bottom hem, and dropped stitches at the cuffs marry with the linen and silk yarn to create a cool cover-up for those balmy, beach days. Constructed from the bottom up, the body is worked in one piece to the underarms, sleeves are worked in the round. Body and sleeves are seamed along raglan lines. It is recommended that the pullover be worn with 9 - 12” / 23 – 30cm positive ease.
