Turkish Maple Pullover by Meg Swansen

Turkish Maple Pullover

This pattern is available from schoolhousepress.com for $7.99.

From Schoolhouse Press:

Two classic Meg Swansen, all-over patterned Shetland pullovers! Both have modified Drop Shoulders, with sleeve-top shaping - the Ocean featuring a knitted-on Saddle Shoulder. Meg does a masterful job of shading the background colors, which keeps the motif vibrant and flatters the wearer. Charts, plus discussions on splicing, knitting back backwards, steeks, bloused cuffs, and more. Knit in our Sheltand Spindrift wool.

Print version comes in a 3-hole, archival quality sheet protector.
