Mountain Vines combines a lot of cool things into one fabulous sweater with an amazing fit.

You start off with a shoulders worked flat to give you a great fit through your shoulders and neckline. Then, after a transition into yoke shaping, you’ll work just 20 rounds of simple colorwork at the end of a deep yoke.

Then you’re in for the perfect TV knitting throughout the body (with optional waist shaping to give you that lovely hourglass shaping).

And you’ll finish the arms with a reverse of the simple colorwork for that little extra something.

Mountain Vines combines satisfying knitting with a great fit, leaving you with a cozy sweater that’s so comfy you’ll want to snuggle up but looks so fab that you’ll want to go out!
