Headed North in inspired by Noah Kahan’s song, Headed North, and reminds me of taking trips to the Cairngorm National Park and driving up through the mountains. It’s a top-down pattern with a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. The front and back yokes have decorative purl bumps. The yokes are full charted and not written.

There are two version - a sweater and a cardigan. If you purchase this pattern you get two files, one for the sweater pattern and one for the cardigan.
