The Marsh Light sweater pays homage to the magical glow above the wetland reeds near my home in Charleston, SC. Knit in tweed yarn from the top down, this sweater utilizes yarnover increases along the yoke to shape the raglan. A decorative moss stitch panel in the front is echoed on the sides to provide faux seams and an additional design element when you lift your arms. Directions for optional waist shaping are included. If you like the accompanying hat design shown, please check out my Pixie Dust hat pattern on Ravelry!
