Pattern: Mioness by Violet B. McQuade. Find it on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mioness

I knit this because it had great information on how to make a neck steek!

Original colorways in Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift:

3. Blueberry

1. 21 (navy)
2. 36 (dark navy)
3. FC 56 (purple-green heather)
4. 1280 (blue-lavender heather)
5. 14 (light blue)

When choosing colors, I tried to pick a similar shade (i.e. light/dark) to the original AND tried to pick heathered shades when the originals were also heathered
