Larch

This pattern is available to purchase from Ravelry

by Pam Allen

Larch is the ultimate in comfort wearing and knitting. Worked in the round from the bottom up, it's very nearly dress length, with deep pockets and an ample cowl neck. The simple details of this piece combined with miles and miles of quick-gauge stockinette makes this a soothing knit for the busy brain.
