Viosna is a top-down seamless stranded colourwork yoke sweater. It has short rows at the back of the neck to create a comfortable fit. There is a Fair Isle spring flower yoke pattern in contrasting colours to the main colour. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the bottom hem and cuffs are finished off with hints of the yoke colourwork.

The pattern features two colourwork charts, one in colours and one in symbols.
