Riding The Rails
Pattern description
Jessica has always lived and worked in New York City. SO when her company moved to a town an hour away, she found herself doing the reverse commute. She looked on he bright side, with her new train ride came an extra two hours of knitting time each day. Jessica had a ton of gifts she wanted to knit for her friends’ kids and she resolved to make them sweaters during her commute. She wanted to learn intarsia, so we helped her design this four-quadrant pullover. This project is a great way to begin intarsia, and since she was only using two colors it was also very portable.
Yarn is worked double throughout the sweater--this means you should hold 2 strands of yarn together as though they are 1.
