Casco Bay Pullover

Description

The Casco Bay Pullover is available in one of two ways: a standard-gauge, standard-size knitting pattern and available here via PDF download, and a fully-custom pattern via CustomFit.

I designed Casco Bay for my final make. wear. love. fall sweater retreat collection in 2019. Each retreat, I make a mini-collection of sweaters in yarns from our vendors, loosely focused around a theme. This year, the theme was ‘cozy’: I wanted to create snuggle-worthy sweaters that would slip into our lives like a dream. I worked this longer-length drop-shoulder sweater in a shadow rib that breaks up the color changes, with a deep V neck and simple rib trim.

Rocky Crest is worked in our vendor Yarn Culture’s YC Knits with dyer Spun Right Round, in the color Quake. This is an incredibly soft yarn with lovely depth of color, and I recommend it wholeheartedly for this relaxed and comfy garment.
