The Park Slope Top, by Mary Anne Benedetto, would be stunning in the Herriot Fine Alpaca by Juniper Moon Farm Yarn, which has great yardage and would drape beautifully in this dolman shape.

The Falmouth Cardigan, by Kate Gagnon Osborn, is a boxy tweedy style that would go anywhere year-round. We’d try it in the Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed Yarn for plenty of softness and rustic tweed colors.
