Ghost Horses
Ghost Horses is a top-down circular yoke sweater featuring all-over stranded colorwork. This sweater was a dream I have had in my mind for a few years; I love the ring of horses galloping across the yoke, and the fading colors of Spincycle’s Dirty Little Secret against their solid light grey Wilder was the perfect match for my western dream sweater! The pattern is written to be easily customizable in sleeve and body length. Options are given for short or long sleeves (or elbow length, like mine!)
As always, the yarn listed is just a suggestion! I love Spincycle and highly recommend it, but you can substitute any yarn that you can get gauge with and like the fabric created! Please feel free to join my Ravelry group to chat more about my patterns, mods and yarn substitutions!
