A simple, slightly loose fit pullover designed for your winter wardrobe, yet with fun details. Choose your favorite color to add a splash of brightness at neckline, hem, and cuffs, just like winter flowers.

This garment is worked seamlessly from the top down. With a few rows of seed stitch after casting on, use German short rows to shape neckline with winter flowers pattern. Continue with raglan increases for the yoke, then separate stitches for body and sleeves. Finish hem and cuffs with winter flowers pattern as well.
