I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude recently and as part of that I’m starting a new Gratitude Program. I’m offering a free pattern of your choice for every $25 spent on my Ravelry patterns. Past purchases on Ravelry definitely apply! I wrote a blog post explaining the program here . Happy knitting!

ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Winter Birch pullover is a simple top-down cabled yoke with positive ease and subtle shaping for a relaxed fit. Named Winter Birch because the cables evoke the twisting limbs of birch trees visible in the winter after leaf drop. Written in 7 sizes. Cables charted and written.
