Buffalo Sweater

Please enjoy 25% off through the end of the day Friday November 19th, CST. No code needed.

This sweater was designed after the cardigan I made for my brother. It is so cozy and warm and it is a quick and enjoyable knit made with chunky weight yarn. The yoke has a striking stranded colorwork pattern and is repeated on the sleeve cuffs. It is meant to be worn with 4-10 in/10.16-25.4 cm of positive ease. It is knit from the top down, seamlessly.
