Mama bear pullover

price excl. VAT €7.00

Light, yet warm and cozy, this pullover will protect you from anything that life and weather throws at you, like a mama bear protects her cub. With its delicate textured pattern, the pullover is very wearable and hits that sweet spot between romantic and casual.

This round yoke pullover is worked top-down in the round with a wide boxy body and a straight sleeve gathered at the cuff. Apart from the pattern section of the yoke, which is very simple and intuitive, the pullover is worked in a textured seed-like pattern, making it a fun project for advanced beginners and pros alike.
