UPDATE: THANK YOU to everyone for downloading and for all of your feedback!! It was brought to my attention that the MC yardage requirements for the size 50” bust should read 1900! When I write a pattern for a full length coat with matching hat, scarf, and cabled bag, THEN we will need 7900 yards….! :)

Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in my Rustic Dreams Sweater pattern!

There’s a magical place in my imagination – it’s a lovely little farm with perfect sunsets and glorious views in every direction. There’s always a warm cup of something delicious, and friends and family members gather often to share and laugh. I painted a picture of that place – and have designed this sweater based on that painting.

An image of my painting that inspired this project is included in the pics for this pattern and prints of the painting are available here, along with images of my other artwork: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/rustic-dreams-ladianne-henderson.html
