Kolorowa

This purchase is for the DIGITAL PATTERN only, not a physical item.

Kolorowa Sweater is a top-down seamless yoke sweater. It has short rows at the back of the neck, and colourful textured patterns around the yoke using a combination of knit, purl and slip stitches. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the bottom hem and cuffs are finished off with more colourful slip stitches.
