Leeward – Project Kit
Leeward – Project Kit
If you love wearing stripes in the summer or any other season, Leeward delivers them beautifully. This irresistible short-sleeve top features stylish angle-back shoulder shaping and double-thick turned neck/arm bands for an extra polished look.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern with our yarn, Studio Blend No. 2, a beautifully crafted wool with a hint of cashmere. The yardage estimate for each kit factors in enough yarn for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance. Each Leeward Project Kit includes a digital pattern, delivered by email at the time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below the photographs for sizing. The colors shown left to right (bottom to top in the composite photo) are as follows: Pearl, Fog, Sky, Butterscotch, Henna, and Shadow.
Construction
Pullover is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up and sewn together. Neck and armhole bands are worked circularly from picked-up stitches, then turned and sewn to the inside.
