Grey Ghost
Grey Ghost is an everyday-sweatshirt kind of knit. Assuming your everyday sweatshirts are knit in gorgeous woolen-spun cormo and feature lace and garter rib details, that is! But what I mean is that you will reach for this one ALL the time. It’s worked seamlessly from the bottom up, with a raglan yoke.
The yoke shaping ends perfectly in line with the pattern columns on the body, and the garter rib motif around the sides and back of the sweater is a play on the lace at front. Special “side seams” add a space to modify the body and blend into the garter rib, plus the little ridge on each sleeve cuff echos the patterns once more. Lastly, a folded collar adds extra coziness to the neckline. As always, there are notes about altering this for fit in the pattern, and how to do so easily.

Yarn: Elsawool 2-ply, woolen-spun, sport weight yarn (100% purebred Cormo wool, 350 yds/320m per 4oz skein). Sample knit in 10% light grey. If substituting yarn, you want a fiber without too much weight or drape. I suggest a woolen spun yarn in a lightweight fiber, in a sport or DK weight to maintain the lofty and delicate nature of the design.
