This is my second project of Blue Sky Maker 2023 from Blue Sky Fibers. I am grateful for this incredible opportunity to work with them again. Their yarn collection is unique and so scrumptious in yarn fibers and colours, I just cannot get enough of them!

Tocha is a pullover worked in METALICO. The yarn gives an incredibly beautiful drape and loose tension. It is worked seamlessly from the top down with saddle shoulder and raglan construction, which is easily customized to individual size. It is a simple design with some fun twists, to keep a knitter focused from the beginning to the end.

The pullover is specifically designed using METALICO. METALICO in the right gauge gives beautiful LOOSE tension and the drape which highlight the pullover. Use METALICO for the best results. Using substituted yarn results in different fit or sizes.
