Winter is just magical with its white soft slopes, frozen trees and that special kind of silence snow brings when it lighty falls and covers everything. In this picture-like scenery I usually look for those little snow tracks running across the white fluffy canvas. I always ask myself what kind of animal may have left them… A duck, a hare or maybe a winter fox? They have always fascinated me and I can’t help but wonder what they were doing there. Maybe looking for shelter, food or maybe just playing around in the winter wonderland.

The Snow Tracks pullover is a white fluffy snow field with long enticing snow tracks running through it. It’s a classic top down raglan with a twist. On the front you have Snow Tracks as raglan details while on the back you just have one single track running down the spine. It’s worked in one piece with no seams.

Raglan shaping has different increase ratios for body and sleeves for a better fit. Shaping tables for each size are included to make it easier to keep track of the increases.
Shaping tabels are provided both colored and in black an white.
