It’s finally here! I am so excited to finally be sharing this design with the world! Winter Woods Pullover will be your warmer alternative to a cozy sweatshirt all winter long. They are predicting a cold one – so start knitting this up now! Designed to be an engaging knit for the more experienced knitter, 1/1 cables form the snowy trees that are scattered across the yoke of this sweater. Worked in one piece from the top down, starting with a provisional cast on, stitches are picked back up to work the short rows that make the neckline fit so nicely. Knit it with plenty of ease in real wool yarn and wear it for years!
The yarn I used for this sweater is Briggs and Little “Regal”. Canadians have a love affair with this yarn (they know what to wear in the cold!), but until recently it was a little harder to find in the US, outside states like Maine. I’m happy to say that you can now order Briggs and Little yarn on-line from a US distributer: www.MaritimeFamilyFiber.com.
The photo shoot for this pattern took place in the middle of a snow storm last March. This summer has been warm enough that I am looking forward eagerly to when I wear this sweater in the snow again!

Winter Woods Pullover – let it snow!
Eventually the falling snow turned my hair into a soggy mess – but the wool sweater held up beautifully!
The circular yoke style has lots of ease for comfort – one of my favorite casual styles to wear!
A few increases at the side after the waist gives a slight shaping that keeps the ease at the hips. You can easily add more (or less) for your own fit.
The textural tree design looks great in many colors. One of my testers worked this pattern in “Quoddy Blue”. What color will you choose?
