The Comfort Zone is exactly what the name implies - a soft and warm halo of happiness that is a joy to knit but an even greater pleasure to wear! Knit in the round from the top down featuring twisted rib at neck, sides, and hem, this is a quick and satisfying project that will keep you toasty all winter long. The split hem, slightly longer in back, lends a modern profile and added coziness. Perfect for lounging with your knitting, a good book, or Netflix in the evenings but stylish enough to wear at the office, running errands, or to out to dinner. For deliciously light and airy results, we highly recommend CaMaRose Snefnug - a lovely blend of alpaca, cotton, and merino.
