Wavy Gravy Sweater
Inspired by a trip to Bethel Woods aka the site of the original Woodstock, this sweater will have you feeling groovy in no time! Knit bottom up and in the round in The Lamb & Kid Tod, this raglan sweater features a bold graphic chevron stripe pattern. I chose a far out 60s-inspired color palette, but any combo of at least 2 colors will work! It is also a really exciting stash buster! Peace, love, and knitting!
This pattern includes checklist charts to help you track both
Raglan and Sleeve shaping. Separate PDFs are included with the purchase of this pattern that contain enlarged versions of these checklist charts.
