Wheatfield is a boxy, slightly cropped jumper with a relaxed fit. I wanted to design a true workhorse garment: an everyday staple that is easy to slip on when you need it. I knew the yarn was the true star, so I wanted a stitch pattern which would showcase it to full effect. I also wanted something to call back to the beautiful nature into which the yarn is embedded.
