Here is everything you need to know about Pepper before you start sewing!

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.

Fabric recommendations: Look for medium-weight or heavyweight fabrics knit fabrics with at least 25% stretch, such as sweatshirt fleece, fleece, French terry, sherpa knits, rib knits and sweater knits.
