Wicker Weave Top
I am a child of the 80s and saw a sweater the other day that made me think of the off shoulder, oversized sweaters that were popular then. I created this pattern with that idea in mind. It can be worn with the neck wide across both shoulders or hanging off one shoulder. The cuffs of the arm also have thumb holes. Made in cotton or another breathable fiber this is perfect for four season wear.
