Molly version A

The **Molly** pullovers are a sophisticated take on a basic sweatshirt. The simplicity of the pattern allows a beautiful yarn to take center stage and to add your own variations. For Julie’s Version B sweater, she added longer ribbing at hip and cuffs, as well as a lateral braid and foldover ribbed collar, but no elbow patches. Both versions can have an A-line shape; the hemline of Version A ends with deep ribbing straight across the bottom, and the sleeves feature elbow patches in a contrasting color. Version B has an A-line shape with a hemline that curves from shorter in the front to longer in the back, and the sleeves have more subtle garter-stitch elbow patches. Either elbow patch option works on either version. The Molly patterns A & B are available in the book, [*Cocoknits Sweater Workshop*][1]. A revised version of Molly Versions A&B is now available separately at [cocoknits.com][2] and here. If you purchase on Ravelry, you will receive the same revised pattern under the listings for Molly A and for Molly B.
