Mooncrush & Moonless: the pullover patterns
I am so excited about this remake of last summer’s colorblock releases: the Mooncrush Tank and the Moonless Tank. Like the originals, these patterns feature a boxy, relaxed fit, and the only difference between the two is the colorwork — Mooncrush features intarsia panels on the front and back (2- or 3-color) while Moonless is entirely stockinette. Both patterns include the new scoop neck option (pictured here on Mooncrush), along with the original crew neck design (pictured here on Moonless).
PATTERN DETAILS
Instead of posting all the details here, I have created PDFs with all the essential information that you can download for free: click here for Mooncrush or click here for Moonless.
Please note, alternative yarn suggestions at a variety of price points are available on the Ravelry and Payhip listings.
YARN SPOTLIGHT:
Modus Operandi Fibers
I was so lucky to collaborate with Rin of Modus Operandi Fibers for this design! Rin creates the most gorgeous botanically dyed yarns with plants and natural materials. Both Mooncrush and Moonless pullovers were designed in Modus Operandi Fibers merino fingering (434 yards/396 meters/115g), a fingering weight 100% nonsuperwash merino with an incredibly soft and bouncy hand and a tight ply.
Here are a few color combo ideas to get you started:
COLOR COMBO 1 (above): Evergreen, House Rosé, Sunstone
COLOR COMBO 2 (above): Faded Gold, Garnet, Olive
COLOR COMBO 3 (above): Sky, Cloud, Faded Gold
COLOR COMBO 4 (above): Bark, Faded Honey, Lavender Silver
