It always feels good to pull on a sweater on a Frosty Morning.
This pattern includes a Sport Weight Version and a Worsted Weight version.
The sweater is knit from the bottom up (the top down version is named Storm Warning). I chose to knit it this way because I think the yoke pattern looks better when it’s running straight across the front and back.
This would be a good beginner bottom up sweater, since the patterning is minimal.
The sleeves are picked up and worked down.
Short rows are worked across the back, below the armhole. This helps the sweater hang even.
