Willow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Willow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Available for Pre-Order only until midnight EST, November 13. Kits will ship approximately November 20.
Featuring a plush and cozy blend of merino wool and organic cotton, the minimally cabled Willow pullover will surely be a closet favorite—for him or her! The sweater is relaxed through the chest and tapers slightly to the hips, giving it a classic unisex fit. Instructions for petite, standard, and extra-long sizing are included, making it easy to create the perfect length.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern in our favorite colors of Purl Soho’s Plein Air, a wonderfully soft yarn with a lovely stitch definition and beautiful drape. Each color has a unique heathered quality that comes from the slight difference in how the wool and cotton absorb dye. The yardage estimate for each kit factors enough yarn for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Each Willow Project Kit includes a free digital pattern ($10 value), delivered by email at the time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below photographs for the number of skeins required per size. Make a skein amount and color selection to see its yarn photo.
Construction
Pullover is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. Neckband is worked circularly from picked-up stitches. The Willow Patterns may be worked either from written directions or from charts.
