Static Haze II

Job type Test knit
Description

Static Haze II is an all-over colorwork, choose your own adventure style sweater with a top-down, raglan construction. It is worked using a worsted yarn for the main color and three strands (two fingering and one lace weight) held together as the contrasting color, making it a perfect stash busting project. The yardages given are based on this arrangement, although you could easily substitute a single worsted strand or any other combination of yarns for the contrasting color as long as they meet gauge. Static Haze II is designed and graded using men's measurements. For the women's version, see the original Static Haze pattern, available on Ravelry.
