February’s sweater is a rugged pullover in the Nordic style this raglan has stick-to-your-ribs warmth perfect for deep midwinter. A touch of handspun at the cuffs, collar, and hem spices up the look without complicating the knitting. It is paired with two recipes:
Brioche buns with curry sunflower seeds
Goat cheese stuffed hamburgers

The name Bovinae comes from the latin name of the cow. This raglan pullover is knit from the hem up, joined to the sleeves and worked seamlessly to the collar.
