Tasteful texture is the name of the game for Carrie Bostick Hoge’s Heidi Pullover, with its playful patterned yoke and cozy collar. A single-color stockinette body and sleeves provide the backdrop for the slip-stitch colorwork gracing the top of the sweater. Heidi has a simple, straight body that is worked from the bottom up in one piece to the underarm, joined with sleeves to the yoke, and shaped with raglan shaping.
