    About

    A sweater for dirty stop outs, stubbornly staying up to watch the stars come out and the daisies shut up shop on those long summer nights…or just staying the in park that hour longer than you meant to….This sweater weighs almost nothing and folds up tiny, so you won’t mind carrying it along or rolling it up into a bag just on the off-chance that you get an unexpected incentive to linger.

    I’ve worked mine in a mostly acrylic yarn to stand being repeatedly stuffed into the bottom of my capacious handbag and sat on in the grass. But this will make a delicious luxury knit with silk/and or wool and mohair mixes.

    Seamless yoke sweater construction with slightly medieval sleeve shaping and a delicate open pattern on the yoke. Hemmed borders give a neat finish. Worked from the bottom up. This is worked at a very open and airy gauge and so makes a suprisingly quick knit despite the fine yarn.
