What’s more fun than a festive sweater? This sweater is fully customizable: it contains charts not featured in the sweater sample so that you can celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or just the winter season. Instructions include total rounds needed for each section of the sweater so that you can play around with chart locations and which ones you feature. This yoked pullover is worked from the top down, seamlessly; add or subtract body & sleeve length as desired for the fit of your dreams!
