about

FOSTER is a basic pullover with bold color blocking, created using two different colors of fingering weight yarn held together with one color of mohair/silk. Starting from a rolled hem, the body is worked in the round from the bottom up, divided at the armholes, then worked flat to the shoulders. Sleeves are picked up at the armhole edge and worked top down. One color of mohair/silk is held throughout with two different colors of fingering, creating a bold color block. Will you be bold or subtle with your color choices?
