Even though rainrdops plop in puddles and drizzle off old city rooftops, a shimmering mist also hangs in the air. That mist carries the sound of wet tires as cars pass, and hangs fuzzy halos around the street lamps. Everything is simultaneously brighter and older in the rain. The welcoming ding of the coffeeshop offers a pause--complete with newspapers--from the weather.

Intended to be worn with 3-5”/7-13 cm of positive ease. Photographed with 4”/10 cm of positive ease. Sizes will be referred to as A B, C, D, E throughout pattern.

Sweater is worked from the top down, flat to start and then joined in the round at front when neckline shaping is completed. Remainder of the sweater is worked in the round. Please slip all markers as you come to them throughout the pattern.

Pattern is both charted & fully written.

The original pattern is also still available for those of you who prefer the cowl neck and tunic fit. I felt it was time to update (and inclusivize) this pattern! Please note original pattern has an error on row 31 and that row should be worked identically to other repeats in pattern.
