Sometimes you just want a nice little scenic getaway - a view of blue ridge mountain and a picturesque landscape like no other. And sometimes life just gets in the way and you’re hijacking an aerial tram and trying to save your partner before she finds herself abducted by aliens. What better way is there to commemorate such occasions than an oversized raglan pullover, catchy motto and all!

This raglan style sweater is knit flat from the bottom up and seamed with the mattress stitch to finish, neckband picked up and knit at the end. Charts are included for the Skyland Mountain logo as well as the sleeve cuff adornments.
