MEANDERsweater
MEANDER is a cropped raglan sweater with a beautiful colorwork section at the bottom and two-colored ribbing. You only use two balls of yarn at a time and still get this intriguing multi-colored look thanks to the gradient yarn that is used.
MEANDER is worked in the round from the top down and no seaming is needed which makes it quick and fun to knit. The merino wool I chose for this pattern is nice, warm and soft and becomes even softer after washing.
I love to layer MEANDER over dresses, or wear it with high waisted skirts or jeans.
