Cassie LaFollette

$7.50

Whatever the weather, there’s always room for rainbows! Equal parts whimsical and wonderful, Cassie’s top-down pullover is a dream in the making and in the wearing. Knitters of all levels will appreciate the simple yet stunning colorplay around its yoke. Knit in a classic color spectrum of Willet, we can’t wait to see your versions of Rainbows! And as with the other two pieces of Whether the Weather, this pattern can also be designed to fit your little (and not-so-little) ones ages 1 to 14.

This pattern is also available for purchase as part of the Whether the Weather collection.

Please note: While we wait for our lovely Willet to restock, you can find many of the colors needed to cast on this pattern through our wholesalers Wool & Co. (they ship nationally) and Knitwit Yarn Shop (for folks in Maine). Looking for a store that sells Quince yarn closer to you? Check out our Store Locator!
