Both Scandinavian Top & Sweater are knit top-down and in-the-round, with a stranded colorwork (also known as Fair Isle) yoke. Scandinavian Top features voluminous short sleeves, while the Sweater offers full-length sleeves with a Fair Isle ‘bracelet’ at the wrist and ribbed cuffs. Both patterns offer sizes Small through 3X and, in soft and squishy Dream yarn, are sure to be fun and rewarding knits that will keep you riveted from start to finish.

This style is also available as a solid color (without the colorwork).
