DESCRIPTION

MOONCRUSH is a cool color-blocked day dream of a sweater, designed for play in both the knitting and the wearing. With deep armholes and seamless set-in sleeves, Mooncrush features a boxy, sporty silhouette that is equally well-matched with your favorite slacks or under a cozy jumpsuit. The pattern includes 9 sizes, options for cropped or full length, options for a scoop neck or crew neck, tips for working intarsia, yarn requirements and instructions for making a 2- or 3-color version, and original charts for the intarsia panels across the size range.
