Purbeck Deux

The Purbeck Pullover, published in Knitscene Winter 2014, was the very first sweater pattern I ever wrote. I still love the sweater, but the pattern and fit needed a facelift. This newer version still features the cowl neck and drop hem that I love, but simplifies the design a bit with a solid yarn color and no body ribbing. The fit is improved, with a wider neck opening and more size options. The sweater still has a great deal of ease in the chest (4-8 inches) with much less (1-3 ins) in the upper arm for a cozy sweater that flatters. And knit in this lovely Alpaca/Merino/Silk blend yarn, you’ll never want to take it off!
