Star Crossed

DESCRIPTION

STAR CROSSED is a truly oversized pullover inspired by the stars, from the grand Polaris to each little twinkle in the night sky. The pattern is designed to work with a wide range of positive ease (8-18”), and the instructions include options for two necklines (cowl or boat neck) and measurements and yardage for two lengths (cropped or full). Featuring bottom-up, drop shoulder construction, the pattern also includes an optional modification for a custom fit bicep, so you can achieve your ideal oversized fit.

YARN

Recommended yarn:
This sweater was designed for a worsted weight wool in two colors.
