Wrap yourself up in the luxurious coziness that is Glacier Run! It’s a fun pattern that you’ll absolutely fly through with multicolor scrappy stripes, compound raglan shaping for a great fit, optional waist shaping, and loads more modification tips.

It’s my go-to knit when I’m stressed. And I hope you’ll find it as relaxing as I do.

New: Want to work in a different gauge, add a V-neck, or make other modification? The pattern now comes with a modification guide! This simple, yet stunning pattern is a great place to practice your hacking skills and make a sweater that is perfectly unique to you!
