This engaging design is knitted in separate pieces and then expertly seamed together, allowing you to combine vibrant textures and colors for a uniquely fun look that captures the character's playful essence. The oversized, boxy drop shoulder silhouette of the sweater features an intricate allover cable pattern on both the front and back, while the striped sleeves add a pop of creativity.

Crafted from Brooklyn Tweed Loft, this yarn is lightweight yet warm, making it not just a pleasure to knit but also to wear!
