ABOUT THIS PATTERN
Tallwood is a fun, intermediate pattern that uses either DK weight yarn or two strands of sock yarn, or a strand of sock yarn and a strand of yarn like Hand Dyed Diva’s Ripple (that fun, nubby thick and thin yarn) held together. Play around with some options! The sweater is worked top down, and it is intended to fit with around 4-6 inches of positive ease, so make sure to pick a the finished bust size that is about 4-6 inches bigger than your actual bust size.
