Sweet Georgia

Sweet Georgia



Sweet Georgia is a wonderful pullover that can be worn by itself or with a lightweight turtleneck. It features an unusual neckline that provides a fabulous canvas for a great necklace. The pullover was worked in a mohair blend on a size 10 US needle in a simple, textured stitch, creating a lightweight top. The bulky-weight, long-print variegated yarn is available in 14 shades. With a generous put-up (660 yards), you only need one or two balls - to complete this piece, depending on the desired size.
