Winter Trellis is a heavy weight version of my Summer Trellis design. Knit top-down and worked in-the-round, the decorative lattice pattern encircling the yoke is the show-stopping feature to this design. The unique texture of The Farmers Daughter Fibers Pishkun yarn gives this sweater even more dimension. The end result is a very flattering, versatile sweater to add to your handknit wardrobe.

NOTE: When selecting yarn, please take gauge into account. You may find that a true DK weight yarn will not work for this pattern. Conversely, a heavy worsted/lofty aran weight may work well. Take time to check your gauge and ensure you are pleased with the result.

• Hi-low hem at bottom is achieved using short rows.
