The Interweave Knits preview went up yesterday (you can see it here, or all of the projects listed on Ravelry here), and we’re so pleased to share Kate’s Meltwater Pullover with you!
The Meltwater Pullover is a Lopapeysa Inspired yoke sweater, knit using water-inspired colors in our US Spun and Dyed season-spanning Savannah.
When designing and knitting this sweater, Kate was heavily inspired by the colors and waves of the Atlantic coast. The combination of bright natural and blue hues makes for a really lovely garment.

While the cool blue palette in the original design is lovely, we were inspired by our desire to bring some bright color into these dreary winter days. Check out some options below!
Option 1: Seafoam as the Main Color, with Natural and Marigold as the Contrast Colors used in the colorwork at the yoke, cuffs and hem.
Option 2: Natural as the Main Color, with Morning Glory and Pink Grapefruit as the Contrast Colors used in the colorwork at the yoke, cuffs and hem.
Option 3: For a freally bright pop of color, why not use Marigold as the Main Color, with Sage and Pink Chambray as the Contrast Colors used in the colorwork at the yoke, cuffs and hem.
