Nostalgia
Nostalgia is a relaxed, over-sized pullover with a warm, tall turtleneck. The sweater is worked top-down seamlessly. It has a cropped hem and raglan sleeves. The raglan seams are decorated with little cables that run down all the way to the split hem. The back of the neck is shaped taller with short rows. Nostalgia is worked holding together a strand of fingering weight wool/blend and lace weight brushed alpaca silk yarn.
