This is a kit for the new sweater by Caitlin Hunter
the pattern is not included and you’ll need to buy it directly from Caitlin here https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/autumn-alpine
Autumn Alpine is a midweight sweater knit from the top down featuring an interesting ribbing detail at the neckline, hem and sleeve cuffs and a Scandinavian-inspired floral colorwork yoke. Short rows are worked at the back neck for an improved fit. Optional short rows are also worked at the back hem to lower the back of the sweater a bit. Instructions are given for lengthening the body and sleeves as desired.
This is the fall/winter version of my Alpine Bloom tee.
