The Ghost Town Collection
Stagecoach is the fourth of 6 patterns designed for a collection created in collaboration with The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers. Inspired by the harsh beauty of ghost towns of the American West, this collab is really meaningful for us. I am really proud of what we created and so happy to be able to share it with you.

The other patterns in the collection include
Engle
Rayado
Galisteo

The rest of the Ghost Town collection will be released slowly over the next three months so please stay tuned. A huge thank you to Candice and her Farmer’s Daughter team for this super special collaboration! All photos were taken by Candice English.

You can find yarn kits curated by Candice for all of the patterns in this collection at the Farmer’s Daughter Fibers!

Stagecoach is a circular yoke sweater knit top-down using 4 colors. This design is relaxed and a fun way to play with colors! Stagecoach is designed to have a comfortable, oversized fit that is slightly cropped with bracelet length sleeves. Body and sleeve length are easily adjustable!

Make sure to swatch before beginning this pattern- meeting gauge is critical for knitting a sweater that fits as intended.
