A perfect cooler-day sweater with an outdoorsy vibe, the Flinders sweater combines simple colourwork in the yoke with a textured stitch in the lower body and sleeves.

This sweater is worked from the top down in one piece, with no seams to sew, while raglan shaping in the yoke gives a comfortable fit in the upper body.

This pattern was originally published as the Vermillion Peak pullover by Interweave Press. Now that copyright has returned to me I have re-written and re-sized the pattern.
