The Fern Sweater is your everyday sweater for winter days, combining functionality and elegance with none of the bulk of a heavy sweater. It has all the features of a classic cold weather turtleneck sweater, the folded- over collar and the deep edges, but the fabric, knit with the addition of soft, warm Mohair, together with the vertical eyelet lace pattern, give the Fern Sweater a light and airy line, with all the warmth you’ll need for winter.

The sweater is worked with two strands together in the round, seamlessly from the top down, with short-row shaping to lower the front neckline. The overall Fern stitch lace pattern is written out, and easy to memorize.

The Fern Sweater is size inclusive.
