When we held Moretta Mega in our hands for the first time, we imagined a cosy , super warm and simple sweater to represent the character of this yarn, and this one is just perfect!
The Yoga winter sweater is a short length style knit with a turtle neck, wide side slits, and long sleeves. Side slits are narrowing down which are worked with decreases so it is always easy to move and breathe for the body. Sleeves are straight and narrowing. The sweater is worked top-down in a Stockinette stitch pattern. It is quite easy to make the sweater longer before working slits and of course, more yarns should be estimated. The Yoga winter sweater is a comfortable, not restricting movements knitwear that fits perfectly for light sports in chilly weather and for wearing at home with leggings or for a trip to nature.
