Description

The Silent Tundra Sweater is a yoke-style pullover designed with a modified fit for women (where the bust is fuller than the back) and also available in a men’s version (with equal front and back measurements).
The sweater is offered in 7 adult sizes, and you can choose the size that fits you best.

The sweater is worked in the round in a stranded colorwork pattern. The motif features repeating trees and birds, with a large bear emerging from the forest centered on the front. If desired, you can also knit the bear motif on the back.

The sweater includes short-row shaping for improved fit and comfort. The short rows are worked to create a raised back neck (neck shaping).
Several neckline options are included: a classic crew neck and a high turtleneck-style collar.
