Walking in the forest on a misty morning is the surest way to calm my mind and restore equilibrium. This soft hug of a pullover offers similar peace, thanks to its generous cowlneck, extra-long sleeves and gently wandering cables. Whether out in the woods or curled up on the sofa, it’s your wearable security blanket.

Difficulty: advanced. Skills: working in the round; German short rows (tutorial included); cables; increasing and decreasing; picking up stitches; three-needle cast-off (tutorial)

Notes: The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up, with exposed sleeve and shoulder seams. It is worked inside out to minimise purling.

You will need to follow multiple sets of shaping instructions at the same time (these at-the-same-time sections are clearly flagged). Use of a row counter or two is recommended!
