The Campfire pullover is the perfect fast and fun knit. This bottom-up sweater flies off the needles with its front panel of seed stitch and back panel and set-in sleeves in stockinette. Indulge in a few quick short rows and a luxurious shawl collar for the ultimate style and warmth. It can be worn with positive or negative ease based on your style preference. And though it was designed for my fashionable and picky husband, Campfire is a unisex pullover to be enjoyed with the whole family with Campfire Mini!.
