’Fir and Fern’ simple, beginner-friendly yoke-sweater with stranded colorwork. Most of the colorwork involves only 2 colors at the same time. The sweater is knit from the bottom up in the round and shaped using German short rows for a better fit.

’Fir and Fern’ sweater was inspired through my daily hikes through the local forest.
