Scattered Skies Sweater

Scattered skies is the cosy relaxed sweater I crave in the colder months. Worked from the top down, this sweater features a simple texture, a little bit of lace, raglan shaping and a split hem. It is perfect for throwing on over jeans for winter walks through the woods, or for cosying up by the fire.
