This is my favourite cozy and casual sweater for fall and winter!
The fabric of the 2 yarns held together is divine and the knitting is fast and fun!

The sweater is worked top-down and seamlessly.
The fit is oversized with recommended positive ease between 10 - 20 cm/4 - 8”.
The leaf-pattern is worked on the back as well as on the front.
