Midge evokes a sense of sentimentality
that carries the warmth of cherished
memories from times past. It features
an all-over colorwork design that is
extremely meditative to knit. The end
result is a sweater with a contemporary
yet nostalgic feel.

Midge is worked from the bottom up, in the round,
seamlessly. The body and sleeves are worked piece
by piece and then joined together at the underarm.
The yoke is then shaped with raglan decreases, short
rows are worked at the back of neck and finished
with a ribbed collar.
