Snowy Forest Sweater Kit - by Midori Hirose

Curated kits for the Snowy Forest sweater designed by Midori Hirose
      

We chose Snowy Forest for our very first Journey sample. I can't tell you how much I LOVE and WEAR this sweater. It's a real statement piece yet easy to wear and a pleasure to knit. The natural sheen gives the exaggerated cables even more dimension. The oversized yoke and balloon sleeves make for a cozy knit. This sweater is a real showstopper but still wearable and super comfy—it doesn't get much better than that!

NOTE FROM THE DESIGNER MIDORI HIROSE
I wanted to knit a circle yoke pullover with a snowy and frosty cable pattern, like rime ice (freezing fog) on branches and snow-covered trees. In north Japan, rime ice and snow cover trees thickly and build hulking shapes, which are called snow monsters. I have knitted voluminous snow monster cables and needle-shaped rime ice cables.

SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) (10, 11, 12)

Our sample features Journey in color Mallard. I'm wearing the size 3, knit to regular length, and worn with 6"/15cm positive ease. Our sample used 6 skeins.
