Hidden in Maryland’s ancient Pocomoke Forest, Furnace Town was a thriving village of craftspeople that has been abandoned and overtaken by the forest. This magical world is being uncovered, and Pocomoke Pullover pays homage to this forgotten village by combining old patterns with fresh stockinette in a contemporary, standard-fitting sweater. It is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with short-row sleeve caps.
