Sea Turtles Pullover

The Sea Turtles Pullover was inspired by my love of ocean life. The Front features large stranded colorwork sea turtle motifs and floating bubbles. A simple garter edging in the contrast color stands out along the cuffs, neckline and bottom edge. Knit up in Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed yarn, a tweedy, worsted weight wool yarn, this pattern is surprisingly quick to knit and a joy to wear!
