Boyland Knitworks - Alyeska Sweater

Designed by 
Boyland Knitworks

Inspired by the grey mountain skyline of Alaskan winter, Ritual Dyes created a beautiful palette for this design collaboration! A gradient set of 4 colors paired with a pop color in fuzzy, cozy mohair make this a really fun and special knit!

This sweater is designed to fit with 4-8” 10-20.5 cm of  positive ease at the bust and 0-1.25” 0-3 cm of positive  ease at the sleeves. A size chart is included in the pattern to help you choose the correct size for you.

Loop carries many  beautiful hand-dyed colours for the 4ply and the mohair / silk blend for this gorgeous sweater!

the same fiber content/structure as the other colors if preferred. C1-C4 are ordered from lightest to darkest.
