Canopy
Canopy is the fourth and final design in KC Knitting Co’s Seasons of Cascadia pattern collection, inspired by the four distinctive seasons of the Pacific Northwest and featuring yarn dyers from Oregon and Washington.
The three other designs in Seasons of Cascadia are:
February in Portland (winter)
Odell (spring)
Sunspot (summer)
The beautiful, tonal colors and luxurious feel of Sprigs and Stone’s Mer-Yak DK, hand-dyed in Olympia, WA, give Canopy’s cropped waistline and wide, elbow-length sleeves an elegant drape, perfect with skirts or high-waisted pants and all the layers for fall. The colorwork motif recalls the gorgeous foliage that autumn in the Pacific Northwest is known for!
Canopy’s unique yoke design combines a traditional top-down yoke with a central leaf motif that cascades down the front of the sweater. Instructions are included to customize the yoke depth for fit. You may use stranded colorwork all the way around, or a combination of stranded, duplicate stitch, and intarsia in the round. Links to technique tutorials are all included, so It’s up to you!
This pattern is #sizeinclusive with finished bust measurements from 33-63”/84-160cm.
Canopy’s design also comes in a cowl version. Your purchase of the sweater pattern will automatically give you the cowl version for free.
