What is your favorite decade? If Harvest Gold and Avocado green are your thing…or if you miss the upbeat optimism of the 80s…or the sparkly punch of the aughts…this is your sweater!!! It’s a throwback to whatever era you’d love another moment in. Vintage, but updated. So when you cast on, tune into that oldies station you love, put your cell phone in the other room and turn on the fan!

The Decades Sweater is the perfect opportunity for you to play with color and make your own personal combination that reflects YOU.

The timeless silhouette is at home in any year, but I designed it to feel like retro gym-era sweatshirts while still maintaining a breezy weightlessness for summer. It’s worked single stranded and feels like a cloud once you get going.

Subtle short row shaping at the top of the raglan curves the neckline perfectly, while classic stockinette gentle drapes. It features 3 sleeve options: a retro 80s dramatic taper (shown on my samples), a standard consistent taper, or a short sleeve modification for less yardage and hotter days!
