The Fireside Sweater features a flattering neckline without the use of short rows. It’s designed to let you combine multiple strands of yarn to create a unique, textured fabric. You’ll only need a small amount of each yarn, making it perfect for using up those leftover skeins that aren’t quite enough for a full sweater.

Fireside Sweater is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
