About:
Inspired by an quiet weekend away, this sweater uses stranded colour-work to invoke the forest and ice-capped mountains that silhouette the sprawling meadows of the Pemberton Valley in British Columbia, Canada, which sits on the Líl̓wat Nation’s Traditional Territory.

The raglan sweater is knit entirely in the round, from the top down, with colour-work appearing around the body and hem.

This sweater has a matching toque pattern, which can be found here.
