The Apollonia Pullover features unique sideways construction, giving a beautiful drape and a fresh twist on classic knitwear. The work begins with the right sleeve, proceeds to the body, and ends with the left sleeve cuff. This technique allows the rib pattern to flow effortlessly across the body, creating a flattering fit for all sizes.
