A Magical Place is dedicated to one of my favourite places in the mountains: a beautiful, hidden field with a wonderful view.
The green of the grass, the blue of the sky fade one into the other in this simple yet stylish sweater, perfect for a walk in the mountains.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with drop sleeves, starting from the shoulders and growing down to form the rest of the body.
This pullover has an easy boxy line and a high bottom hem worked in a fun rib that hides two comfortable pockets.The same stitch is used also for the neck and the wrists.
The sweater can be worked in one color or, as my sample, in a fade between two similar colors (this last option is very handy if you don’t have a sweater quantity of a single color).
