The multicolored dying process in this yarn looks gorgeous with the Indian Cross Stitch pattern in the yoke—color variations are stunning—a perfect stitch for this yarn. With the slight stretch across the shoulders, the beauty of both the stitch and the yarn is emphasized. The garter stitch between the Cross Stitch pattern almost looks like beaded detailing with this yarn.

Rustic and earthy colors, exuding elegance in style and silhouette…inspired by the colors and mood of Connemara itself…contrasts and contradictions that create a beautiful landscape…a fresh emerald color flecked with golden hues like the beaches and brown shades like the rocky crags in this breathtakingly beautiful part of the world. The Celtic attitude of this design is intriguing and striking.

Other features include:
The sweater is worked in one piece for easy finishing.
The sweater is worked top-down. You can try the sweater on as you work to customize the fit for length of sleeves and body.
