Betty is my grandmother – an accomplished painter, generous host, master gardener, best friend of babies and dogs, the list goes on. She has also tried pretty much every handcraft I can think of. The yoke of this sweater draws inspiration from a bit of her embroidery I spied in her home. The slipped contrast-color stitches yield a unique texture and design element that is incredibly easy to work.

This pattern would work well with a yarn with good stitch definition. I’d recommend a springy yarn so that sweater holds it shape. Check out the teaser trailer for more suggestions on yarn and colorway choices.
