PATTERN NOTES
Giant sequoias are the largest trees in the world and inspired the name for this relaxed sweater that features a dramatic cable panel on the front. The cable is carried into the high neck where is sits as a loose and comfortable turtleneck. Knit in Deluxe Bulky Superwash, this gorgeous sweater is easy to care for and knits up much more quickly than the time it takes beautiful sequoias to grow!

You can find a blog post about this sweater here.

This sweater is knit in pieces from the bottom up. Stitches at the tops of all pieces are placed on holders, and the cowl neck is knit upward in the round after seaming. The single knit stitch on the edge of all pieces is included to make seaming easier.
