Pullovers

This lightweight top has two options for sleeves. The flutter sleeves are left unseamed at the edges so they flutter and add unexpected interest. It's a playful and unique style. The kimono sleeves have a relaxed yet elegant look because it has a larger portion of see-through fabric. 

There is no shaping required.
