Whether you love to garden or simply appreciate the natural beauty of flowers, it’s impossible not to feel dazzled by the diversity of their shapes and colors. Picotee generally refers to flower petals that are light, with different colors along the edges. Often this patterning is found on flowers like carnations and cosmos. The intarsia motif in the Picotee pullover is a loose interpretation, with petals that alternate colors instead. It’s the centerpiece of the design, but this piece gets even sweeter thanks to its tailored fit. Picotee features set-in sleeves, A-line waist shaping, and a cozy folded neckband. We’re certain you’ll turn to this sweater again and again!
