Throwover
Designed by Andrea Mowry and knit by Julia in Kelbourne Germantown
Andrea Mowry’s The Throwover is a classic pullover sweater with a snazzy colorwork yoke. Knit from the top down with a deep collar and seamless construction in soft, sturdy Kelbourne Woolens Germantown (100% wool), The Throwover is destined to be the sweater you pull on to keep out the chill while looking stylish and comfortable!
Julia notes: "The Throwover is a delight to knit, and the experience was made even better by using Germantown. Germantown is a 100% wool workhorse of a yarn that is the perfect choice for an everyday sweater. And The Throwover is exactly that: an everyday layer that I could imagine wearing right next to my skin as much as over an underlayer in the colder months! The Throwover pattern, with a well-calibrated balance of colorwork and stockinette, is a great intro to garment and colorwork knitting for any adventurous beginner."
