Lillooet is inspired by the Lillooet ice field in British Columbia, Canada. Ice fields are large areas of interconnected glacial valleys, formed over hundreds of years when snow
accumulates, freezes, and turns to ice. The Lillooet ice field surrounds a river of the same name, and it measures over 19 miles from east to west. Viewed from above, the Lilooet ice field is breathtaking. This sweater echoes the swirls, ripples, and crevasses visible in aerial views of the ice field.

Lillooet is knit from the top down, with minimal seaming. You
will cast on for the neck and work back and forth until the
garment reaches just below the waist. Then, you will join and
work in the round to finish the bottom of the sweater. Later, you will add crochet edging and buttonholes to the placket.
