The thermal pullover takes on a bold new look when rendered at an exploded scale in Quarry. The classic woodsman’s waffle weave forms a geometric grid at this large gauge and is worked from a four-row pattern that’s easily memorized. Deschutes is knit flat in pieces and sewn with partially exposed seams for rustic detail. Roomy sleeves are set in to ensure a tidy fit around the shoulders to balance the straight lines of the torso. Choose a size that gives you no more than 4-5” of ease if you want to keep the shape feminine. Deschutes is a good pattern for darker shades like Slate (shown here), Serpentine, or Hematite.

The garment is worked in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly, and is bound off using the Elastic Bind Off. Another stretchy bind off may be substituted.
