The Gently Flowing Pullover is a stockinette circular yoke pullover with short rows that create a s-curve in the body shaping. This curvature, inspired by the gentle flow from one phase of life to the next, is emphasized with the use of a contrasting color and a round of decorative eyelets. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns; embrace those bends in the path.
