“Midwinter” is a cozy, comfy sweater with a large doublesided funnel neck and extra wide hem and cuffs, perfect to keep you warm on chilly days in winter. Yoke and cowl are decorated with some stripes, as are the lower sleeves. The sweater is worked in the round, you start with a provisional CO at the bust, work the yoke and cowl bottom-up. Body and sleeve stitches are then picked up and worked top-down.
