Cedar Pullover

*I designed this sweater in honor of my beautiful friend Jodi, as a tribute for her Birthday. Jodi likes minimal details, she likes circular yoke sweaters and cool fibers, so I picked a beautiful linen yarn to design this for her. In July 2019 we were so lucky to spend a week together visiting the town of Cedar. It was a time to relax, knit together and tell stories. I named this sweater to remind us of that wonderful time and place.* It uses two strands of fingering weight to achieve a DK-equivalent gauge... So it would work with most things in your stash! Try double stranding similar or different colors, and any fiber you can think of. **SIZES** XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). Shown in size M on a 36” bust.
