In the winter, sweatshirts are my only wardrobe. I have always lived in the midwest: grew up in Pittsburgh and now live in Columbus, Ohio. When you have lived thru snow and ice and wind, you dress warm to stay sane. And it doesn’t help that I am ALWAYS cold.

When I saw this pattern, I knew that the many variations would suit me well during the freezing weather. The Sloane Sweater has a bodice that can be hemmed or finished with a band. You can add a hoodie or a front pocket. There are so many combinations in one pattern!
