Meadowland
Meadowland
Inspired by the very early signs of Spring, when flower buds are first starting to come through, despite the morning frost or dusting of snow covering the ground.
Introductory Offer - Save 15% on the Meadowland Sweater pattern with code: Meadowland15 at checkout, through midnight (ET) Saturday March 6th.
Raglan style sweaters are my absolute favorite for everyday wear - whether layered over a dress or with my favorite pair of jeans. I wanted to create a fun design that is both a classic wardrobe staple but also feels a bit special.
Meadowland is a top-down raglan construction sweater, knit seamlessly from the collar to the lace hem. This sweater is designed to be worked in a single strand of DK held together with laceweight mohair or Suri throughout the body. The collar, hem and sleeve cuffs are worked in the DK alone. There are instructions for two sleeve options provided in this pattern; choose from a cropped or full-length sleeve.
