I think we can agree that, emotionally, it has been sweater weather for all of 2020—the need to curl up in something comfy and cozy and hide from reality has been ever-present, even on the hottest summer days. But now, ACTUAL sweater weather is here! And we could all do with a new cast-on or two.
Six Crooked Highways hits all the right points for your pandemic knitting—an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern, straightforward construction, a cozy turtleneck to hide your face in, and, of course, beautiful yarn. It’s knit from the bottom up in the round, with a simple drop-shoulder shape, and uses a lofty fingering weight yarn that’s both warm and light—brush up on your cabling-without-a-cable-needle skills and it will fly off your needles!
Your purchase includes a sweater planner to help you select the right yarn and size for your sweater, and guide you through swatching!
