Sweetheart Jersey
Sweetheart takes its name from the endearing pet name. It reminds of simplicity and all that is good. It is a very versatile item which can be made short and worn over dresses and high waist bottoms, or made long or oversized for extra comfort. It is a raglan pullover that can be worn all year round due to its airy fabric and comfortable construction. The pullover is worked top-down with neck shaping for a perfect fit and is highly customizable to taste.
