The official Primrose 2022 Rhinebeck Sweater! Every year, I look forward to casting on that one sweater that I get to wear at New York Sheep and Wool! It has become a highly anticipated, yearly tradition. For this year’s festival, I decided to design one! I knew when I designed the “Bluestone Pullover“, that I wanted to do a cardigan version, and bring the beautiful colorwork motif on the bottom, up to the yoke, creating an all over, show stopping colorwork sweater. Thus, the Bluestone Cardi was born!
