The Twisted Trails Hooded Sweater is a cozy pullover designed to keep your little one snug on those brisk autumn days. This cabled raglan sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up. The six cabled trails twist and turn across the body of the sweater up to the neck opening where two of the trails end. The four remaining cables continue winding their way, two along each side of the neckline. The hood is picked up and knit around the neckline, where the twisted cables continue their path until they meet and are grafted together at the top of the hood. This pullover is a necessary addition to a breezy day out in the woods.
