Inspired by a wet ‘ol Newfoundland day! I had to find a way to incorporate Biscotte’s Self-Striping Yarn into a sweater. Gris-Gris for a grey day, a motif of rain drops for all the rain we are so well known for and Self-Stripng yarn in Splash!! If you’ve been out in the rain and slush in Newfoundland you know all about being “water logged”. - Andrea

PATTERN NOTES
Water Logged is a circular yoke sweater knit seamless from the top down meant to be work with approximately 2-4 inches; 5-10 cm of positive ease. Featuring a motif of raindrops, this stranded colorwork is very beginner friendly. The sleeves are knit as a short sleeve, with a ribbed cuff that is NOT binded off. To look as though you are wearing a striped long sleeve shirt under your sweater, join the Self-Striping yarn after the cuff is finished and start to knit in Stockinette stitch.
