Plain & Fancy Pullover

Hand Knitted by Gena Greene

On this browser it's showing up as grey. In real life it's a heathery, denim-like, but fairly bright blue that would fit into almost any color scheme; intense enough to wear with black and white things, not too intense to wear with beige or grey things.

Size: 36" bust, 5'4"-5'8"

Material: Wool-Ease, a washable wool and acrylic blend

Care: For best results, hand wash and dry flat, but the manufacturer says Wool-Ease can be machine-washed carefully.

Credits: "This is a plainer version of Nancy Bush's 'Plain and Fancy' design, featured in Knitter's magazine #30. It's based on a traditional Amish sock pattern that has striped scallops around the top, where they won't wear out, and neutral or natural-colored wool below. My version has scallops around the hipline, but not stripes."

Click here to buy either the sweater or a copy of the magazine (please specify which!). $15 for the magazine, $50 for the sweater, $5 for shipping either or both.
