note from the designer:
even though i don’t own the copyright on thie pattern anymore, i couldn’t stand seeing that blank white box staring at me everytime i looked at my designer page! this image is from an ebay offering. the pattern is in Crochet! magazine, but you may also be able to obtain it from Caron International.

the basic construction of this sweater is one of my favorites - it is worked side to side, has very little shaping, and uses a not-too-simple stitch pattern to highlight the qualities of the variegated yarn. i plan on using this foundation more for upcoming designs.
