Woodland Sweater Yarn Pack - Heritage
Cascade








Anna Johanna's book Strands of Joy is full of beautiful stranded colorwork patterns, but if we had to choose a favorite, it is the Woodland sweater.
Woodland is a sweet, oversized cardigan with the cutest little woodland colorwork at the hem. The cardigan is worked seamlessly top-down. It has long sleeves, a boxy shape with no waist shaping and the shoulders are shaped with short rows. The pattern comes with instructions for an optional bust dart. The body of the cardigan is worked in the round and cut open once finished. The pattern can be very easily modified into a pullover by omitting the steek.
We have put together yarn packs for this sweater out of a variety of yarns. Here we offer Cascade Heritage sock yarn, a durable blend of 75% superwash merino/25% nylon with 437 yards per 100 gram skein.
