Words About Ferns Sweater
This pullover sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan shaping. It features a lacework panel in the center and pronounced raglan seams. This is the ultimate selfish knitting season cast on because it’s simple enough for Netflix knitting but the panel in the front keeps the pattern interesting to work. Knitted up in fuzzy, single ply yarn will yield a sweet, delicate treat-yourself sweater that you’ll never want to take off.

Yarn Recommendations
The yarn recommendations listed below are a result of my best estimation for a sweater with short sleeves. They are approximate. Your gauge and/or yarn substitutions will effect the amount of yarn that you’ll need. If you knit your sweater with long sleeves, you’ll need about 25% more yarn.
