The Fogata Pullover is what cozy dreams are made of! Inspired by the classic Nordic round-yoke pullovers, the Fogata Pullover has a relaxed fit with striking colorwork around the yoke, body and sleeves with a close-to-the neck neckline which can be turned into a turtle-neck. It is worked top-down and all colorwork is done using tapestry crochet and following a color chart. The body can be as long as desired and it sports a super flattering high-low rounded hem. Given the yarn weight used and the big stitches, it is a quick project that you won’t be able to put down!

Alternative Yarns
Any bulky or chunky weight yarn will work, but keep in mind that denser yarns will make for a heavier pullover. In order to have a light garment that is warm but nor overwhelming, I recommend using airy or blown yarns like Wonderfluff.
Here are some I recommend based on their weight and fiber content:
On the more denser side, these are some other good options:
GAUGE
11 sts x 10 rows in esc worked in the round with 7 mm hook and after blocking = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in). Certain materials might sag and fabric will extend too much with weight, so adjust hook size appropriately.
