“What happens in a meadow at dusk?” When I first got my hands on Magpie Fibers Domestic Fingering I knew it was the perfect pairing for Spin Cycle’s dyed in the Wool, and immediately one of my favorite quotes from one of my all time favorite movies (I heart Huckabees) came into my head, “I can see why they put us together”. The custom color way Eventide was inspired by a beautiful scene of a sunset over a meadow, and again, reminds of said film, I strongly recommend the yarn and the movie! Oh and the sweater pattern too!

Gauge
22 stitches x 32 rounds in Stockinette stitch = 4 x 4” or 10x10 cm with larger needles.
Notes
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Short rows are worked across the back for slight shaping. After the yoke is complete the sleeve stitches are placed on waste yarn or spare needles to be picked up and worked in the round. The body stitches are continued in the round. The sleeve stitches are then picked up and continued in the round with a simple color work motif before the cuff. The sleeve length can be modified, but if you want to knit them longer you will need to have a little more (extra) yardage than the pattern calls for.
