Long Distance Father’s Day

Dad, Beth and the dogs are at the cottage and I stayed home for the weekend.

Beth made pancakes for breakfast. They looked really good and I was very jealous. What did dad get for Father’s Day? A new wallet because his little friend Fred chewed on his old one.

This is Stephen West’s Mossy Marled Raglan (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

Choose two colors of fingering weight yarn and hold them together throughout this marled sweater project. The top-down pullover begins with a folded hem in twisted rib. Then moss stitch is worked in the round as you increase with raglan shaping. I used two colors of West Wool Bicycle, a non-superwash merino wool. This soft and lofty fiber produces a super squishy and cozy fabric. The simple stitches and straight forward instructions make this sweater ideal for beginner sweater knitters. Enjoy mixing your yarns together as you knit this comfy sweater.

Le Petit Lambswool from Biches & Buches would be a great option if you want a commercial dyed yarn.

There are a few rows knit on my This or That MKAL but I won’t share yet in case you haven’t started yours. I have some laundry to do and then I’m going to knit a few rows before bed.
