Oak is a true beauty: simple and lovely in reverse stockinette stitch, fitted in body and sleeves, and embellished with one very handy pocket. Worked from the bottom up, this pullover uses a very subtle dolman-style shaping in the underarm and short-row shaping in the shoulders: This creates a modified drop shoulder/dolman hybrid that is incredibly flattering and easy to wear.
