Zoe is an oversized pullover with a zipper. She has a dropped shoulder and extra long sleeves, which are finished with elastic at the sleeve hem. Zoe comes in 2 length options: cropped and hip length. The cropped length is finished with elastic at the hem and has buttonholes if you want to insert a functional or decorative drawstring. The hip length has a high low hem with side seam slits and comes with two back options: the back cut in one piece and the back with yoke. Because of the different panels, Zoe is perfect for scrap projects and color blocking.
