1942 is a dk/light worsted weight pullover worked in the round from the bottom up with raglan shoulders and adorned with cables, textured stitches and twisted ribbing. The name is in honor of the countless childhood summers I spent at the family cabin surrounded by family and friends, and being toted around the rugged mountain landscape in an old beat up 1942 Jeep.
