The V is deep enough to show off a pretty necklace, but not so deep that you have to think twice about what you're wearing underneath. A doubled collar adds just the right touch of coziness and polish and frames the neckline beautifully. Hearthside is knit seamlessly from the top down, with short rows used to create elegant, refined shaping through the shoulders. Every detail is carefully considered to create a sweater that feels simple but never basic. Hearthside is knit in the small batch of farm yarn from my own Finnsheep. [You can find this yarn on my website here.][2] Alternative yarns are listed in the "suggested yarns" section at the top of this Ravelry listing.
