Midvinter Sweater is a thick and warm sweater, perfect to wear outside on your adventures in the forest, mountains or lakes. The pattern is inspired by the coldest part of the winter, and is also the perfect sweater to wear during the coldest days.

Midvinter Sweater has a high collar which you may choose to fold down and sew or simply keep high, the collar is in a two colored rib, this makes the collar extra compact, to help keeping you extra warm from cold winds. The collar is followed by short rows in the neck, and a round yoke with a stranded pattern. The body and sleeves are finished with the same two colored rib as the collar.
