Travel to arctic with this glorious knit! This sweater is inspired by a trip I took to Alaska to view the Aurora. A bit of stranded colorwork keeps the yoke interesting while plain Stockinette stitch ensures a simple body. Colorwork is resumed on the lower sleeve to balance out the design. All in all, this is a pretty simple knit.

There are 2 files in this pattern - fit 1 and fit 2. This unisex pattern looks just as good on any adult, regardless of gender identity. There are instructions for traditional male and female shaping but both files are included so you can customize your knit to your body perfectly.
