Confluence Sweater Kit

$173.95-$342.40

The Confluence sweater is a top-down sweater with a folded collar, balloon sleeves, and a circular yoke. The sweater body and sleeves are knit holding 2 yarns together to create a marled fabric. The collar, cuffs, and hem are worked with just one yarn.

In the words of the designer…

“Named for my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Confluence sweater is a mixed base and marled top-down sweater. Featuring a folded collar, balloon sleeves, and a circular yoke, this sweater is perfect for first time sweater knitters, as well as advanced knitters looking for a relaxing knit. The sweater body and sleeves are knit holding a fingering-weight and fluffy lace-weight yarn held together to create a beautiful marled fabric. The collar, cuffs, and hem are worked holding the yarns independently. The 3 stripes on the sleeve cuff represent the confluence of rivers at Pittsburgh’s point. This is where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers merge to create the Ohio River. Simple and elegant, this design is the perfect vehicle to show off and highlight these special yarns!”
