Sporty 45 Pullover

Sporty 45 (cardigan) is a birthday collaboration between myself and Heather of Ewe Ewe Yarns to celebrate our 45th birthdays (we happen to be born in the same year, just a week or so apart)! Using Ewe Ewe Yarn’s “**Ewe So Sporty**” sport-weight yarn and taking inspiration from our 1979 birth year, this light-weight sweater vest has a retro vibe and a modern silhouette, created with simple knitting techniques. > There's also a Sporty 45 > cardigan-style.
