about granite

The resulting fabric of Haven held together with Tweed Silk Cloud on US size 9 needles is pure lofty heaven with an incredible halo. I designed this sweater to be one that I will reach for constantly.

Granite is worked in the round from the bottom up in a textured Granite Stitch pattern, then split at the underarm and worked flat to the shoulders. Stockinette bracelet length sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuff.
