Introducing the Float On Ruffle Top!  This sweater is the perfect piece for lounging and living in. We love the boxy-shaped silhouette which is worked from the bottom-up both flat and in the round. The body is worked in pieces and joined at the shoulders and sides, while the sleeves are worked in the round, both of which showcase a simple lace stitch pattern. This design is finished off with a ribbed neckline and a ruffle embellishing each sleeve.  Add some extra flare and elevate your wardrobe with this fun, frilly sweater!
