The Adirondack chair sweater came from a random burst of inspiration one morning in may of 2025. I live just outside the Adirondack park in New York’s north country. I wanted to capture not just the iconic chair but the beauty of the high peaks landscape with evergreens and alpine flora. I also had to capture the classic Adirondack park colors of brown and gold. i hope you enjoy this swoncho-esque pattern, and if you have not visited the Adirondacks, I encourage you to make the trip!
Enjoy,
Jessica
