Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) ● Level: 2/3 ● Hali means a hug in Finnish, and the pullover is like a warm hug from a friend on a chilly day. It’s a bit oversize so you can layer your clothes with a blouse and jeans and feel comfortable. The funnel neck gives the pullover a contemporary look even though the stitch pattern is quite timeless.

Can you see how the stitches are chained to each other – just like us?

The sweaters is worked top down seamlessly.
