This is a variation on my Sandcastle Tee pattern with a small mountain colorwork motif, instead of a sandcastle motif, designed especially for the new Mountaintop Yarn Shop in Okatie, South Carolina!

Only available at Mountaintop Yarn Shop

This is a very easy sweater to knit. It is also very easy to alter the length of the sleeves or body. As written, this beginner-friendly sweater is knit top down, and features an interesting neckline, some simple colorwork, and a tie at the waist.

Enjoy!
