Murky Depths Targhee Worsted is perfect for this design, check out the base here!

If a quick and cozy colorwork sweater is what you’re after, look no further! Elbrook features a top down saddle shoulder construction for a well shaped shoulder. The sleeve is a modified drop, achieving the comfy and relaxed fit of a drop shoulder without the extra underarm bulk! After joining in the round for the body, a swath of bold and geometric colorwork makes knitting to the bottom hem a breeze!

If you want to try out your yarn, or use up leftovers, you can make a matching Elbrook Hat or Elbrook Cowl, both available for FREE!
