As autumn breezes give way to winter chills, woolen sweaters become a daily staple. This top-down sweater is sure to become a favorite pullover throughout the season. The neckline begins with a touch of frost as Fair Isle snowflakes begin below the collar and increase in both size and color intensity around the shoulders. Mini-skein gradients create an eye-catching colorwork effect, while waist and hip shaping create a flattering fit. Colorful detailing along the bottom of the sweater body and sleeves give this garment a unique look while making it interesting to knit. Cozy up to the fire and grab your needles… it’s time to get Frosted! SIZES Adult XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X) FINISHED DIMENSIONS This sweater is designed to fit with 2-4” of positive ease.
