Awake in the Woods is worked from the bottom up. The body and sleeves are worked in the round until split for the armhole, where each piece is worked flat to the end. Sleeves are set-in with a saddle shaping. The collar is picked up last and worked in the round.

The front of the pullover features a cable design.

This pullover has a similar concept to my Tweedy Dan pattern, with differences such as gauge, ease, and most cables, and includes a wider range of sizes.
