Introducting: The Fall Sweater

The third pattern from the Season of Sweaters is a spectacular all over colorwork pullover in our wool mohair blend, Andorra.

This pullover screams fall: Grab a pumpkin spice latte (or don’t, we know its contentious), your backpack, and get ready to peep some leaves!

Even with the colorwork and the steeking, the Fall Sweater is a surprisingly basic garment to knit. The sport weight yarn is knit on a larger-than-usual US 6 to keep the fabric light and airy. Its boxy cropped shape and delicately shaped sleeves make for fairly straightforward colorwork knitting without a lot of fussy decreasing.

Knit completely in the round, the Fall Sweater is steeked – but it is a good candidate for your very first steeking project. It is knit from the bottom up, and you can opt to go cropped to stay on trend, or lengthen it to your heart’s desire.
