Junco
This relaxed sweater has stripes worked in soft grey tones and contrasting fibres.
Meghan Kelly has played with contrasting yarn types in harmonious hues to create an interesting stripe pattern. The stripes on her pullover design are worked in two soft shades of grey, and two sportweight yarns from Kelbourne Woolens: the wool-mohair Andorra, and the cotton-linen Mojave. Meghan’s drop-shoulder pullover is designed with 4-10cm positive ease for a relaxed fit.
While working the short rows, you may prefer to cut the yarn after each colour change instead of carrying the unused colour.
