This sweater is inspired by my experiences camping, hiking, and boating in the western United States. When spending time in nature, warmth and comfort are of course very important, but it’s also nice to feel like you look decent when going to a pub or a restaurant after finishing the adventure of the day. Forget Me Not features a pattern inspired by the western wildflowers; the color is reminiscent of my favorite wildflower, the forget-me-not.
The optional mobius cowl offers both form and function:
It keeps your neck warm when sitting around the campfire, while also showing off the texture of the wrong side of the pattern.

PATTERN NOTES
The stitch pattern used for Forget Me Not must be worked on a needle larger than what is usually recommended for the yarn. Working on larger needles prevents the resulting fabric from being too dense and heavy.
The final (purl) row of each piece is worked on a smaller needle, to prevent the top edges from flaring.
