Pattern Sweater Heather Drift

Like a gentle mist rising over the heath, the harmonious colour transitions of Heather Drift will captivate you. This seamlessly knitted sweater by designer Emma Ducher immerses you in the inspiring colour world of our Cheeky Merino Joy and lets you enjoy the suppleness of the soft wool. The narrow raglan lines ensure a comfortable fit and blend beautifully into the modern pattern of the colour transitions of the tones Cream, Melange Heather and Melange Mulberry. Heather Drift can be styled to look both feminine and casual, making it your beloved companion for relaxed discovery tours and enjoyable breaks in everyday life. 

Heather Drift is knitted seamlessly from the top down, starting with the folded collar. For an even better fit, the back shoulders are shaped with short rows before you continue knitting in the classic way, in rounds with evenly spaced raglan increases. Once the increases are complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is continued in the round. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again and the sleeves are knitted in the round. For the fine geometric colourwork pattern that forms the colour transitions on the body and sleeves, you follow both the written instructions and charts.
