Happy Harvest

$6.50

Introducing Happy Harvest! This design has been a collaboration between myself and the wonderful folks at Berroco Yarns

Happy Harvest is a seamless poncho/oversized sweater vest using Berroco’s Ultra Wool Chunky yarn. It’s a quick knit that combines a fun acorn lace stitch pattern with simple garter and stockinette stitch. It uses 2 colors – a main color for most of the garment and a contrasting color for the top portion of the back and the cowl. It features button closures at each side (to create armholes), a hi/lo hemline and a separate, removable cowl that can be worn with or without the garment (or with a completely different outfit!). Scroll down for all of the pattern details regarding gauge, yardage, etc.
