Frostina
FROSTINA is a soft and warm sweater in Worsted weight yarn, combining a geometrical pattern with yoke increases. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a long neck and short sleeves. The body length can be easily adjusted, but it will change the yardage required.
Above all the yoke pattern is perfect to play with more than two colors, so it is up to you, changing colors for the yoke as available in your stash. The Frostina sweater is worked up quickly and the pattern is easy to follow.
Use neutral colors, tonal or solid. The pattern is so addictive, I could not resist to knit a second sweater in one go!
