Granite

The Granite Pullover is a split-hem, v-neck top, with wide, bracelet length sleeves. Stockinette stitch is used for the hems, neckline, and armhole edges. A “fun-to-knit” woven stitch pattern is used for the main body and sleeves, which gives the top a beautiful texture, and creates a breathable fabric. This is perfect for spring and summer and is so fun to layer over all of your favorite dresses, tanks, and jumpsuits!
