Damson Street (an ode to a family friend who used to make amazing Damson Plum jam) is a top down, long-sleeved pullover with gentle waist shaping that leads to a slight A-line silhouette. Additional shaping options are included in the pattern. Fair isle adorns the yoke and sleeves. Instructions for the fair isle patterns are both written and charted. Additional charts with no colors are included at the end of the pattern so that if you wish, you may color in the charts to match the yarn you’ve chosen. German short rows are used to shape the neckline after the fair isle yoke pattern is completed. A link to a German short row tutorial is included.
