Salishan

Salishan

$9.00

Salishan is an easy and fun sweater to make and to wear! Picture yours with your favorite jeans, slacks or even over a skirt. Choose your colors and yarn types and get ready for an entertaining project as the stripes make it seem to go super fast.

Make several and be ready to wear them a lot as it’s super comfy and oh so versatile! Make a silky dressier version with lighter weight mohair stripes and another one using equal yarn weights in contrasting colors. You might even choose a color changing yarn for the stripes.

Four different collar finishes are included in the pattern: Funnel, Crew, Double Crew and Turtleneck.

Salishan is worked top-down and in the round in a completely seamless manner with a raglan yoke and a slight A-line body for a flattering fit and total comfort.

This design really shows off hand dyed yarns and will look great in any sport (or light DK) weight yarn with good drape that meets gauge.

Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of at least 4 inches / 10 cm at chest.

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
