Notes From the Designer:

In northern New Mexico, you will find the Jemez Mountains, Jemez Falls, the tiny town of Jemez Springs, and the Jemez Pueblo. It is at the pueblo that Jemez pottery was first created; although it was abandoned for a couple of centuries and revived in the early 1920s. The pottery features distinctive earth tones and interesting geometric designs. This sweater was inspired by this lovely pottery and makes me long for the Land of Enchantment whenever I wear it! The sweater is knit top down with a stranded colorwork yoke. The body length can be customized to suit your taste, and the sleeves can be either fitted, straight with no shaping (as pictured), or puffy at the cuff.

  • This sweater offers three different sleeve styles. Please select the style that is best for you.
  • You can customize the length of the body to suit you. The pattern and yardages are written for the average torso length. However, the sample pictured is fairly cropped. Please keep in mind that you may need more yarn to accommodate your desired length if you have a longer torso.
