Geimreadh, Irish for Winter, is a classic fit sweater knit top-down with seamless construction. It was named for what showed through the snow in a sandstone fold on my home island, Newfoundland.

This sweater is available in gender neutral adult sizes xs to 5x. The neckline has a folded rib, after which short row shaping is worked, before knitting the yoke and separating for sleeves.

Intended ease of 2” for a classic fit.
