With a relaxed fit and drop-shoulder silhouette, Zinnea is the sweater you’ll want to grab again and again. Split hems and a center slip-stitch detail add charm to the finished pullover and give it a style boost over a sweatshirt with no tradeoff in comfort! Worked from the bottom up in the round after the hems are complete, Zinnea has seams at the shoulders and sleeves worked down in the round to the cuff. A folded collar adds the perfect finishing touch and an extra cozy feel.
