Balsam Pullover on the Cover of Interweave Crochet

They don't tell you these things ahead of time… you just open your mail one day to find a mailing packet with your contributor copy and a very nice note thanking you for contributing to the latest issue of Interweave Crochet. Imagine the celebrating that ensued when we realized that was our design on the cover of the Winter 2019 Issue of Interweave Crochet! If you've ever been around us… you know there was some noise.

The Balsam Pullover is a cowl-neck pullover that truly embodies our sense of tailored casual style. We used Valley Superwash DK (courtesy of the folks at WEBS) for a mid-weight fabric that would feel good on the body without weighing you down. The asymmetrical hem balances a wide range of body types and the single crochet ribbing at the cuffs and draped cowl neckline are cozy and balance the sleek look of the main body and sleeves. From special occasions to curling up with a good book to an afternoon of shopping, we designed this to be a true wardrobe staple.

Now on to the important questions:
Will it fit me?
We designed the Balsam Pullover so we could write the pattern in our signature sizing to fit a finished bust of 32½ (35½, 39½, 42½, 45, 50½, 54, 57½)”. Kudos to Interweave Crochet for including a wide range of sizes in their magazine!
