Autumn Snowfall features a Selbu mitten inspired section of colorwork worked at the hem. The drop shoulder construction is easy-going and cozy, while the considered shoulder shaping makes sure you look well put together. It is the perfect sweater for a drizzly fall day when you want to be warm and look stylish.

Autumn Snowfall is knit seamlessly from the top down. You cast on for the back neck and then work increases to shape the shoulders. After completing the back yoke, stitches for the fronts are picked up from each of the shoulders. Simple shaping creates a crew neckline. After the front yoke is complete, the body of Autumn Snowfall is knit in the round. A bold section of snowflakes is worked at the bottom hem. Sleeves are picked up and knit from the top down in the round.
