Novella by Tabetha Hedrick

Craft: Knitting

This lightly fitted ribbed turtleneck has that perfectly slouchy drop shoulder that makes it both effortless and elegant. The allover ribbing creates a subtle texture that shows off Brina’s gentle sparkle without overwhelming it. Cozy enough for curling up with a book, classy enough for dinner out.

Novella is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed.
