PATTERN WILL BE AVAILABLE MAY 1ST

Ridgecrest is a bottom-up sweater featuring instructions for two necklines, two body lengths, and two sleeves. Not only is it highly customizable, the ridges made from the simple knit-purl stitch pattern creates a beautiful fabric and keeps the sweater interesting - no matter what options you choose!

To make your custom sweater, choose one body length option (A or B), one neck option (C or D), and one sleeve option (E & F). The section titles that pertain to the body, neck, and sleeve options will include the following distinctions for clarity:

Body Option A - Regular Body Length
Body Option B - Cropped Body Length
Neck Option C - Crew Neck
Neck Option D - Boat Neck
Sleeve Option E - Standard Sleeve (with decreases)
Sleeve Option F - Bell Sleeve (no decreases)

The samples shown are made using the following options:
Gray Sample: Body Option A, Neck Option C, Sleeve Option E
Purple Sample: Body Option B, Neck Option D, Sleeve Option F
