Everysweater is the worsted-weight sweater you’ve been dreaming of: it has clever design details, a loose fit for everyday wear, and is the perfect canvas for pairing two colors!


Everysweater offers the chance to display your favorite space-dyed colorway: alternating a semi-solid and space-dyed color in one row stripes frames the ever-changing hues of the space-dyed yarn. Alegria Grande, our worsted-weight superwash yarn, has over 30 space-dyed colors to choose from! We knit our version in Eggplant (MC) and Quilt (CC). Quilt, with its mints, lavenders, and fawny browns, paired beautifully with the deep purple of Eggplant. Which two colors of Alegria Grande will you choose?

NOTES
This top-down pullover begins by working back and forth in rows to raise the back neck, with raglan increases worked at the same time. At the base of the neck, the piece is joined for working the rest of the yoke down to the underarms. The lower body and sleeves are worked in rounds to the lower edge and cuffs.
