Snowy Forest Sweater is a colorwork pullover with a circular yoke featuring a pattern inspired by the winter mountain landscape. It is worked top down in the round, seamless, which allows for easy adjustment of the length. Thanks to DK yarn and easy fit it is warm and comfortable. The neckline, body and sleeves are finished with a decorative cable ribbing. For your convenience, colorwork charts are provided in two versions, depending on whether you want to have the main color light or dark.
Let knitting and wearing this sweater bring you into a winter wonderland.
