The winter of 2022-2023 broke records for snowfall in Duluth, Minnesota (140 inches!), so I decided to celebrate the event with a snowy pullover. This is a raglan style that is knit in the round from the top down, in DK weight yarn. The sample sweater was knit in Rowan Felted Tweed held together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze for a lightweight and toasty warm garment. The snowflake motifs are centered back and front. Unisex sizing.

The sweater is designed to use both Felted Tweed and Kidsilk Haze. If you decide to skip the Kidsilk Haze choose a slightly heavier DK or light worsted yarn.
