Sagemoor

This pattern is available to download from Ravelry.

Knit in whisper-light, woolen-spun Loft yarn, the colorful Sagemoor sweater has plenty to entertain the knitter and all the makings of an heirloom piece you will wear again and again. In eight heathery colors, Sagemoor relies on traditional fair isle stranded knitting to create a sweater that’s timeless and easy to personalize. Follow the designer’s gorgeous colorways or create your own palette.

Worked from the top down, the Sagemoor pullover begins at the back. Stitches are picked up for the set-in sleeves and for the front, which is steeked at the neckline. The stranded colorwork pattern is charted.

Please note: the stitch patterns for this garment are charted only.
