Pair it effortlessly with a collared shirt or even a hoodie for a layered look that is perfect for any season!

Included in the pattern are detailed instructions for ribbed edgings, adding a nice touch to your finished garment. Designed specifically for men, the Alec XL is a fantastic unisex pullover that suits anyone looking for a cozy yet chic addition to their wardrobe.
