Sunset Highway

Sunset Highway has been updated to be more size inclusive, now including sizes for a finished bust measurement from 36.5-72". I have also added a detailed schematic which you can view in the pattern pictures before purchasing to see if the fit is something you will like. The pattern has also been reformatted to fit my current layout style. Thank you so much for your patience as I work to continually improve as a designer and to also apply the things I learn to older patterns as well as new work. Happy knitting! Now available in Spanish! A limited number of kits for this design will be available from [Olann][3]- check their site for more info! *There is nothing quite so romantic as a road trip along the coast, with sunsets blazing in all their glory as you drive with the windows down and ocean breeze in your hair.
