No pockets
The feel of this sweater was wonderful! The weight was so cozy. Would have been a really good sweater for running errands, etc. But the shawl collar put too much fabric around the neck. And the real deal breaker was no pockets. Returned

Pretty Sweater
Beautiful colors, just too large for me, even the XS. I'm 5'1" Petite, would look nicer on a taller person.
