Style 662232 features long sleeves, a scoop neck and a straight bottom. Both the bottom of the garment and the sleeves end in rib knit fabric. The front and back panels are knit to shape with self start bottoms, self finished sides, full fashion marks at the armholes and contoured necklines. The sleeves are knit to shape with a self start bottom, self finished sides, and full fashion marks at the armholes. All of the components are looped and linked to form the finished garment.
