Interweave SKU: EP1021

Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2000/20001:
Shirley Paden discovered the primitive colorwork motifs for this sweater--an animal figure, a flower, and a snowflake set within an allover trellis background--in a 1960s knitting magazine. By combining the motifs with the brown and beige wool-camel hair yarn, which has a bit of an old-fashioned effect, and a roomy silhouette, which is contemporary, she created an up-to-date sweater with a vintage fashion feeling.
