“Autumn seemed to arrive early that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.”
-J.K. Rowling

Allover garter stitch might just create the coziest fabric in the knitting world, and it’s what makes this sweater the perfect go-to for your fall and winter wardrobe. Knit seamlessly from the top-down, utilizing a classic raglan construction and cascading waterfall front panels, this is the perfect social knitting project or a great first sweater. Wrap yourself in the squishiness, and enjoy a mug of mulled cider while you knit in front of the fireplace. Is this heaven or just hygge?
