This pattern is featured in issue 15 of Laine Magazine.

Hiemalis is a unisex colourwork jumper with a boxy fit. It might take some patience – especially with handling many colours at once – but the result is worth every bit! The pattern offers multiple ways to customise. It is knitted top down and in the round with a colourwork yoke as well as colourwork on the cuffs and hem. Two options for body length (cropped and regular) and sleeve length (bracelet length and full length) are given. Optional chest short rows for a looser fit around the chest area are given.

Note that the model is 5’9 / 179 cm high which affects the hem and sleeve lengths.
