Spirit Lake is a timeless V-neck pullover with a contemporary flair that is sure to become a wardrobe staple. This is a versatile top that can be worn as a summer tee or a long sleeve sweater and you can also choose between two colorwork striping options.
 
The stitch pattern in the textured color block in the body and long sleeves is a lot of fun (and easy) to do and depicts the water of Spirit Lake and the lava flow from the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption in 1980.
 
The V-neck edges are finished as the yoke is worked so there is no need for finishing work after the garment is done. Simply block it and weave in your ends!

Construction is top-down, totally seamless, and with high raglan sleeves that almost look like set-in sleeves but are easier to adjust for that perfect fit. Make the sleeves and body exactly the length that you want. The adjustable fit and angled hemline makes it a flattering pullover for many body types.

Spirit Lake will look great in any sport or light DK yarn that meets gauge and has good drape and stitch definition. This is an intermediate level pattern that could be accessible to an advanced beginner knitter.

Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of 3-6 inches / 7.5-15 cm at chest.
