Waffle Stitch Pullover

designed by Susan Mills



Wildwood
Multiple shades of undyed pure
wool combine in each color of
Wildwood. A pleasure to knit with,
one thick and thin gently spun
ply is wrapped with a thinner
second ply for a subtle texture with
surprisingly good stitch definition.

This waffle stitch pullover with

modified drop shoulder sleeves
uses the same stitch pattern
throughout - the two colors are
reversed on the yoke and funnel
neck for a colorblock effect.
