With optional front pockets and a roomy reverse stockinette stitch yoke, the cozy Cilfor sweater is made for weekends. Including two variations in sleeve length and separate instructions for either a classic pullover or a longer tunic, Gudrun Johnston has created a no-frills classic with endless possibilities. 100% Targhee-Columbia wool Shelter yarn gives Cilfor rugged softness and plenty of tweedy texture.

Construction

The yoke of this pullover is worked from the top down. The body and sleeves are divided at the underarm and worked separately to the bottom. Body and sleeves are worked circularly. Optional pockets are worked after the sleeves are completed. Collar is picked up and worked circularly.
