Case of the Color Work Sweater
Nancy Drew is on the case! Color work may be a formidable foe but the fierce River Heights detective proves that maneuvering floats and color work charts is just another day on the job :)
This raglan sweater features many clues to solve the mystery: Morse code cabling spelling out ????? along the raglan, sleeve cuffs spelling out ‘it’s locked’ and ‘get a clue,’ a mystery symbol motif full of hidden gems, and the classic Nancy Drew silhouette to help you along.
Charts are included for the Morse code cabling along the raglan, the color work on the sleeve cuffs, and the color work for the body of the sweater.
