Fireside Sweater

The Fireside Sweater features a flattering neckline without the use of short rows. It’s designed to let you combine multiple strands of yarn to create a unique, textured fabric. You’ll only need a small amount of each yarn, making it perfect for using up those leftover skeins that aren’t quite enough for a full sweater.
