Fern Mor

Inspired by the gently curling ferns in the Irish countryside every autumn, this sweater gives you a swirling flourish around the yoke. **CONSTRUCTION** This pattern is worked from the top-down, and uses gentle short row shaping for the neck that flows into the colourwork fern yoke and circular yoke increases. The body is complete with subtle a-line shaping and finished with ribbing. This pattern is a re-imagining of the [Yew Mor Sweater][1]. This pattern uses the same yarn and shaping but with a different chart.
