Aunt Fred is my favourite kind of sweater to wear at a fall festival like Rhinebeck. It's casual, colourful and warm, and it looks great layered over a long-sleeved shirt. The stranded colourwork pattern is inspired by the curtains that hung in Aunt Fred's avocado-and-goldenrod kitchen, which existed as a 1970s time capsule until the day she died in 2008.

As a proud Michigander, I chose to make Aunt Fred with Briar Rose Fibers' Nate's Yarn. It's a sport-weight yarn with a slightly slubby texture that adds a sort of rustic quality to the simple colourwork pattern.
The construction is seamless: the body and sleeves are knit separately, then the upper body is worked in a single piece, with set-in sleeves that are shaped as you go.
