Notes From the Designer:
•This sweater begins with a provisional cast on at the neck so you can work short row neck shaping after the body is complete. If you prefer to omit the short rows, you can use a regular cast on and work the ribbing before beginning the yoke.
•Instructions are given for a three-color gradient, but you can work more or fewer colors. If working with hand-dyed yarns over large sections of fabric, you may want to alternate skeins every couple of rows to minimize color pooling.
•This sweater shares a stitch pattern with the Arklund Scarf. Both patterns are named after locations in Tales of Xilia, one of my favorite video games. In the game, Arklund Quag is adjacent to the city of Fennmont, which is in a state of eternal nighttime. I opted to work the gradient for this sample with the darkest color at the top down to the lightest color to mimic the night sky, which is darkest at the deepest, or “top,” part of the sky, fading to lighter colors down near the horizon. Whether or not you’re into video games, let this be your nighttime sky, or at least your stargazing sweater!

Fennmont Sweater
I loved knitting this pattern in a medium, and it was a nice fit for both people. The Twisted Tweed yarn is beautiful to work with and soft while holding its structure. One correction: when picking up stitches for the sleeves, pick up 10 for the M (not 8). This is probably a typo, because XS and S ask you to pick up 8, and L asks you to pick up 12. I will make this pattern again!
Fennmont Sweater
I loved making this pattern, and have made it twice in Medium. The yarn is unbelievably soft and draping after blocking. A small correction: pick up 10 not 8 stitches for the armholes for the medium--I think it is a typo (because XS and S are 8, and L is 12). I wonder how this pattern would fit without the purl ridges, but I like it too much with them to try.
Femmont
Interesting pattern I think I can put together without too much teeth grinding.

Wonderful Pattern
It is always nice to see a new pattern from Expression Fiber Arts. This pattern is joy to knit. It is perfect for a beginner. The pattern is well written. Very easy to follow and understand. Top down sweaters are so convenient when one needs to try on as you go. I look forward to knitting more than one of these beautiful sweaters.

Great pattern - very well written and easy to follow
Fennmont
Loved the look of this sweater. This pattern is written in the way I like. The sweater itself is described. Then it clearly lists the materials needed, the stitch pattern and the step-wise knitting instructions.
Fennmont
I knew from the moment I saw this that this was a sweater I wanted. The pattern is written in the way that I enjoy following. The sweater in general is described. The stitch pattern is described. The materials, gauge, abbreviations all up front and clear. Options explained. Instructions easy to follow. So far I have stash dived and cast on. Using a hand dye, so rotating hanks.
