Hi-V Slimline Pullover

I think I mentioned that I'm trying to get caught up on formatting and posting my designs... here's another one, the Hi-V Slimline Pullover (one of the very first I did for Schaefer Yarn).



My favorite thing about it is the fabric (Elaine is a thick-n-thin yarn, and I love how squishy it is in garter stitch), and the points over the hands.



There were originally points on the lower hem too, but Cheryl vetoed those--a good idea, in retrospect, since it's much more versatile without them.

And the details:

Finished Measurements
Bust: 38” (42”, 46”)
Body length: 22” (23”, 24”)

Note: This sweater has a snug fit. It looks great on, even though it looks strange when off.
