I’ve been dreaming of this sweater for about 3 years and finally got it from just being a sketch to my new go to sweater. It’s a chunky 2x2 rib staple piece with an oversized chunky roll neck and large turned up cuffs. The body is boxy, oversized, drop shoulder and is slightly cropped (with options within to lengthen).
