Fómhar, Irish for Autumn, is a bottom-up sweater with seamless construction and a colourwork yoke. It was named for falling leaves and changing trees.

This sweater is available in gender neutral adult sizes xs to 5x. It is knit in the round, bottom-up with seamless construction. Body and arms are first knit separately, then joined to knit the colourwork yoke. Underarms are grafted together with kitchener stitch. Colourwork uses some long floats.
