Description
The body is worked as one piece to the armholes, then the back and fronts are worked separately. Curve-hugging ribbing makes a strong vertical impression, while I-cord ties add a funky touch to the classic style. Annie’s signature double-knit slipped-stitch edging makes an uncluttered finish along the front opening.
