Thoreau Falls is a top down pullover that begins at the edge of the cowl and is worked in one piece in the round to the bottom broken rib trim. The front and back are then worked separately, with the back worked a bit longer. It features raglan shaping, waist shaping, broken ribbed trim details and an optional patch pocket. The generous cowl neck is cozy and fun to wear.

I adore Beaverslide yarns and although the yarn in this sample is listed as worsted weight, I love it knit at this heavy worsted/aran gauge.
