Worked in the round from the bottom up, the two-color brioche collar, cuffs, and hem remind us of the Buttonbush plant. Pullover includes waist shaping and seamless set-in sleeves which are picked up and worked down to the cuffs. Weekend Wool, Green Mountain Spinnery’s classic soft-yet-strong worsted weight yarn, comes in a beautiful rainbow of options, so you will be sure to find your perfect color combination.
