This is the second of my Three Sisters Knits, inspired by the volcanic peaks in the Cascades of Oregon. The North Sister Sweater features a colorwork yoke aligned within raglan shaped sleeves, a relaxed body fit and slightly bell-shaped sleeves. Knit from the top down, you can easily try on as you go and adjust the sleeve and body length to fit your personal style.
