Snow Sweater - Adult

Snow Sweater is an elegant take on the classic Christmas sweater. It is worked from the top down in the round with a circular yoke construction and features a winter landscape on the sleeves. Snow Sweater is worked using 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. You begin with the folded ribbed neckband and continue with neckline shaping using German short rows. Afterwards, increases are worked around the yoke down to the underarms. After the yoke is finished, sleeve stitches are placed on hold to be worked after the body has been completed. The body is then further shaped by working additional German short rows at each underarm before you continue in the round to desired length and finish the body with a ribbed hem. The sleeves are worked from the bottom up, beginning with an i-cord edge and later following charts, and they are sewn to the yoke with grafting stitches. Lastly, the The Fair Isle pattern is charted only.
