Rory
Wood grain, fallen leaves, and wheat grass are all conjure to mind in Rory by Sarah Shepherd. The central panel of twisted, traveling stitches mimic the things we love most about fall. The shaped drop shoulder and nubbly welts of garter add both visually pleasing fabric and ease of wear. This cozy pullover is made in pieces from the bottom up and seamed, then the collar is picked up and worked in the round.
