This sweater was inspired by a sweater I purchased while doing a 5-week course in the UP of Michigan, tagging animals, learning radio telemetry, and exploring the wilderness. The course was FNR 370 and is why this sweater is called the “370” sweater.

The sweater is knit all in one piece. It begins at the top by knitting saddle shoulders, then the saddles are picked up and knit down the back, the front is then knit and the body is knit in the round to the bottom. The sleeves and collar are picked up and knit afterwards.

The texture is written out, and there is a chart at the end for reference.

Features: This sweater has waist and shoulder shaping for a flattering fit, as well as a mock side seam so it lays nicely. The side seam is reminiscent of animal tracks moving up the edges.

Sizes are by chest circumference with an intended ease of approx 2”. Included are: Chest circ: 32”(36,40,44,48,52)/40.5cm(46,51,56,61,66).

I highly suggest swatching for gauge before beginning. I recommend a heavy worsted wool yarn for this sweater.
