Wild Grass was born from late-summer evenings in the sheep pasture with the tall grasses swaying and seedheads glowing in the golden light. The seedheads' graceful shapes inspired the yoke design, a warm memory of sunlit fields to carry into the cooler months ahead. Wild Grass is knit from the top down in the round. Short rows are worked under the colorwork for a good fit in the neckline.
