To celebrate the launch of the Hudson pullover, I’m offering a 15% discount when you use the code CANADIANA ! Valid until May 11 at 11:59 PM EST.

The Hudson sweater is a modern, top-down knit that combines seamless construction with a clean, tapered silhouette. This project uses two yarns held together—a DK weight and a lace-weight mohair—to create a plush, aran-weight gauge. The sweater features thoughtful design elements such as German short rows for back and sleeve cap shaping, gentle waist shaping for a contemporary fit, and elegant 1x1 twisted ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and hem.
