Runlet Sweater

*This is a knitting pattern download, not the purchase of the product shown in the photo.
 
Runlets are water ribbons dancing over the stones and roots at creek edges and waterfalls, a delicate side-show to the main current. Likewise, this sweater, shown here in a beautifully warm possum-merino blend features a lace and cable panel of flows and eddies through reeds and rocks, while still holding a steady, relentless rhythm. It’s worked seamlessly, bottom-up in the round to the sleeve separation, with stockinette on the back and double seed stitch adorning the sleeves. A mock-neck collar and bracelet-length cuffs make for a quiet, dreamy classic.
