She Makes Waves
This whimsical pullover featuring a mermaid colorwork yoke is an ode to my love of all things water. This sweater has a relaxed fit and tapered sleeves. Knit seamlessly, top down, and in the round, you can try on as you go and adjust length for a perfect fit. This is a fun statement sweater and has been a great conversation starter when I wear it out and about.
Two colorwork charts are provided with light and dark main colors for easy reading regardless of your color choice.
