Buckwheat explores natural color and texture in a unique linen and wool blend yarn. Simple in shape with a shawl collar, bit of waist shaping and cute eyelet details at the shoulder.

A labor of love in fingering weight yarn, but so comfortable and lightweight with great drape.

Sweater is worked top down in one piece, beginning with the back collar, followed by the shoulder shaping and back. Fronts and collar are picked up and worked from the back shoulder. Body is joined at the underarm and continued to hem with the button band and waist shaping. Sleeves are worked separately in the round.
