Did we say Very Versatile? Well, we did and we didn’t. We love the “Very Versatile” Neck Down Hooded Pullover by Knitting Pure and Simple so much that we wanted to let lots of people know about it. So, we showcased it in an ad with Interweave calling it Very Versatile and showing all the variations we’d made using our fabulous Block Island Blend . Then, we forgot to update the name of the pattern on our website with that turn of phrase, making it hard (well… impossible!) to find. We are very sorry for the confusion – things should be back on track now, and, we are still in love with this pattern!

Hmm, now the only problem is which yarn to use… In addition to Block Island, Peace Fleece , is a wonderful yarn from a wonderful Maine company… and Casco Bay Worsted is an homage to the local waterways we are so looking forward to enjoying as summer approaches – a perfect fit for this pullover!

You know the feeling of a well worn pair of jeans? Well, that’s the feel that the Double Tee has when made out of K1C2 2nd Time Cotton . The K1C2 fiber provides a richness of color that comes from the way it’s made: specks of color add vibrancy to the overall faded look and feel. This fiber is made in the USA and has 75% recycled fiber content… So not only does it feel-good to wear, but it is a feel-good product as well. As for the Double Tee, well, it is a comfortable and easy wearing pattern, and makes the kind of garment that you want to wear again and again. Make the Double Tee and see how many spring, summer, and fall evenings it ends up being your go-to garment!
