Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains, I could wear a sweater just about year ‘round. This is that kind of sweater. Perfect for a beginning knitter, yet offering variations for the intermediate; you’ll love making one for every season. Knit one in cotton (as shown), wools, or mixed with silks, etc…this will be your favorite comfy sweater as it is mine.

What you need…
Bulky Weight Yarn :
For Size Small: 550 yds. Medium: 650 yds. Size Large: 850 yds.
