Pine Creek Sweater
Pine Creek Sweater by Samantha Guerin Designs | With a relaxed fit and eye-catching textural lace at the yoke, Pine Creek will quickly become the sweater that you reach for over and over. You can style it for an afternoon of hygge with leggings and cozy socks. Or you can glam it up by layering over a tunic dress with your coolest boots. Pine Creek is knit seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is cast on with provisional stitches and short rows are worked to raise the back neck. The yoke lace is knit, then the body and sleeves are separated and each worked top down. The only finishing is to pick up the provisional stitches at the neck and work a rolled neckline.
