The points of color created by purl stitches, a signature element of the Bohus knitting

tradition, create subtle shading and texture in this multi-season top. The bright, mod-

ern colors of the yoke frame the face, then transition into a flattering A-line shape

with short sleeves. Knitted from the neck down, the body and sleeves are easily cus-

tomizable to your desired length, guaranteeing a perfect fit.
