This boxy dropped shoulder pullover is as sweet as its name implies. A round neckline begins with 1 x 1 ribbing which highlights the stockinette roll that follows. In fact all the edges are slightly rolled. The flowers are knit in stockinette stitch. The leaves under the flowers are crocheted. The front has a pleat gathered beneath the flowers. Omit the pleat and flowers and embellish as you like. Stripes would be cute or a simple pattern stitch.

For your pullover to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
