“Go ahead, make my millennium.” Inspired by the one and only ghost with the most, Beetlesuit is a top-down cropped yoke sweater and high-waisted pants set, featuring 3-color stranded colorwork stripes worked throughout the entire design, and wide long sleeves/pant legs with an i-cord bind off to finish.

This one has been a real labor of love, and I hope you love it as much as I do!

If you need any help choosing colors or have any other questions regarding the pattern or sizing, send me an email and I’m happy to help!
