Description
With its snaking, graphic colorwork and bands of solid color, the Arkansas River Pullover pays tribute to both the rapids and gentle straightaways of its namesake river. This handsome and sporty pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up, and it features a comfortable and warm shawl collar for chilly early mornings and nights in the high desert.
