The Badger sweater is a playful and comfortable knit, with a relaxed fit to make the most of the softness of the yarn combination. The deep yoke has a wide colourwork pattern, and the sleeves are roomy with optional colourwork on the cuff. The abstract pattern across the yoke as well as the choice of colours and heavier yarn is a nod to the badger, this shy and compact creature that burrows out of our sight.
