Saguaro Spirit Sweater PDF Pattern

$8.00

I’ve been leaning hard into seventies style inspiration for the last several months. I was really drawn to crafting a modern raglan with garter stitch and a cable motif. As I was developing this design, I kept envisioning a festival-goer in the American Southwest posing with various cacti. The round flowers and ridges of the cactus became the lace and cable motif down the raglans and the garter stitch in between.
