Pizza Pullover is a simple loose-fitting blouse that features an allover eyelet pattern that resembles flowers – or little pizzas. It is worked from the top down with a raglan construction using 1 strand of Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. The ribbed edges around neckline, sleeves and body complement the feminine lace pattern perfectly. Pizza Pullover is designed with positive ease.
