Enwreathed Pullover is part of The Sweater with Kathleen Dames, Season Four. You can knit along on the cowl and pullover with me over the course of 12 weeks on YouTube (video) or iTunes (audio). Be sure to sign up for the newsletter and never miss an episode.

Wrap yourself with pine boughs and flowering vines in this top-down circular yoke pullover. Knit up in a woolen-spun fingering yarn, this sweater is as light as a feather and as warm as a hug. Cast on provisionally, Enwreathed is finished off with deep ribbing at hem and cuffs, while the collar is simply bound off to form a delicate rollneck.

Note: As written the sleeves are slim. If you want larger sleeves, consider increasing stitches for each sleeve at the split.
