High in the tower the trapped princess patches her gown. Out in the real world, patch your fitted hoodie with a beautiful assortment of cables filled with different stitches. Worked in one piece from the bottom up, waist shaping enhances your figure, and a hybrid yoke construction draws the cables up onto your shoulders. Don’t forget the hood! Short rows allow the large cable to travel all the way up to make it extra special.

Choose your favorite DK weight yarn. Spirit Trail’s Brigantia, with it’s blend of Polwarth and Silk makes me feel like a princess.
