The Stick Season sweater by Rebecca Clow is inspired by the Stick Season album by Noah Kahan. It’s all about getting cosy as the days get colder, and having comfort nearby. This pattern includes both the printed pattern and a digital download code!
The sweater is a take on a traditional gansey with a textured yoke, shoulder detailing and faux seams. The drop shoulder makes for an easy and relaxed fit.
