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.
An Appendix is available with charts for each size and color combination.
