Pepper is the ultimate cozy pullover. With its oversized collar and wide cuffs, it’s got just enough style while staying super relaxed.

The roomy fit, dropped shoulder, and high-hip hem make it easy to layer over anything. Perfect for cozy days or when you want to add a little something extra to your look.

The member bonus pattern lengthens Pepper into a tunic-length sweater with dramatic side slits.

Felicia is wearing Pepper in a size 6, graded to a 4 at the bust. We added 3/4" to the sleeve length. Her measurements are bust: 35" (89 cm), waist: 29" (73.7 cm), hip: 38 1/2" (97.8 cm), and she is 5' 8" (1.73 m) tall.

She’s wearing Pepper in a Cream French Terry and the bonus is a Blue Sweatshirt Fleece, both from Bolt Fabrics.

Franki is wearing Pepper in a size 20. We graded to a size 18 at waist and hips, and removed 1" from the sleeve length. Her measurements are bust: 48" (122 cm), waist: 39" (99 cm), hip: 50" (127 cm), and she is 5' 6 1/2" (1.69 m) tall.

She’s wearing Pepper in a Mind the Maker Checkered Jacquard Knit and the bonus is a Robert Kaufman French Terry, both from Bolt Fabrics.
