Local Meadow - a lightweight, oversized, pullover knitting pattern

Local Meadow is deliciously soft, oversized, and graceful - a “look at me” sweater that’s just as ready for ‘Zoom business casual’ as a cozy evening on the couch. 

This handknit pullover is your companion for lunch dates and bookstore trips, or any time you want to feel like the “most YOU” version of yourself. Lightweight fabric with just enough structure, a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders, and a shaped cap to reduce fabric in the underarm - this sweater will be the most comfortable, wearable, sweater in your wardrobe.

Construction

Local Meadow is knit flat from the bottom up and seamed. Stitches are picked up for the neckline. The pattern includes modification notes for knitters who wish to work the body and sleeves in the round to the underarm.
