Attention! Release Promo! Todd & Margo is 20% off until Sunday September 20th. No code needed, the Discount will be applied automatically at checkout.

The Todd & Margo sweater draws inspiration from bold vintage graphics, “old school” knitting techniques, and the characters from Christmas Vacation.
This sweater is worked top down, beginning at the back neck. Shoulder increases shape the back until the full width is reached, after which the back is worked flat to the hem and finished with ribbing. The front shoulders are then picked up along the slanted edges—one side in the main color and the other in the contrast color. After shaping the neckline and joining the front, intarsia is used to create partial stripes across the front body. Markers indicate the underarm positions, and the body is seamed along the sides. The sleeves are picked up at the armholes and worked in the round using the main color. Finally, the collar is picked up, worked in ribbing, and folded to the wrong side for a clean finish.
