FERNWOOD is a stranded colourwork sweater with a top-down construction and round yoke. Starting with provisional cast on for the neck, the sweater is worked seamlessly top down, us ing short rows to shape the neckline. After the yoke, the body and sleeves are separated while casting on stitches for underarms. Neck ribbing is worked at the end, which gives you the flexibility to decide what kind of neckline you would like to make.
