Sequoia is a simple yet elegant open-front cardigan knit up in a rich autumn color palette. The design combines the hand-painted ombré Canyon colorway with coordinating Red Oxide semi-solid. All sizes use two balls of the ombré yarn to ensure that you will get the full spectrum of the gradient throughout the sweater without having extra yarn go to waste. The asymmetrical stripes throughout the body, and solid sleeves and collar add a fun contrasting element. Three-quarter length sleeves and lightweight 100% Merino yarn make this a great layering piece that can transition through all the seasons.
