This seamless, stripy sweater is worked from the buttom up with a knotted seed stitch border for a piratical look.

In honor of international talk like a pirate day, 2009, I’m hosting a book giveaway with a yarn kit for this pattern or the Pirate Lass Dress on my blog, where I’m taking entries until Wednesday, September 30th.

This give away is over, but I will be hosting more on my blog periodically, so stay tuned!
