FOGHAR means Autumn in Scottisch-Gaelic, the season I am desperately looking forward to come as I am knitting this sweater in the hot summer.

The sweater starts with at provisional cast on at the neckline giving you the opportunity to improvise with the neck: you might want to make it shorter like for a regular jumper or even substitute it with an i-cord if you prefer to do so; I made my sample with a turtleneck. Also, I made the cuffs a bit longer to be able to fold them.

The sweater also features a split hem where the back part is 2 cm/0.75” longer than the front. Of course, you can make a regular hem without the split.
FOGHAR is made seamlessly in one piece from the top down. The range of ease across all sizes is 10 cm/4”. The picture shows size 2 with 10 cm/4” of positive ease.
