DETAILS
I wanted a cozy, high-necked raglan pullover that was equally welcome paired over a dress or with a t-shirt and jeans. Ochre Moss is knit seamlessly from the bottom up using a relaxing colorwork pattern that is given depth with a mix of knits and purls. This sweater is worked from the bottom up, beginning with the sleeves, which are put on hold until the body is worked up to the underarm and then everything is joined together in the yoke.

SUGGESTED YARN
For this sweater I chose a DK weight yarn that is woolly in all the best ways! This 3 ply yarn is a dyed in the wool Targhee tweed with beautiful flecks of color. It is warm and bouncy and perfect for color work and stitch definition.
