Frida Sweater

The yarn in this kit is made from 100% natural fibers

The Frida Sweater is knitted top-down with double strands of Faerytale from Du Store Alpakka. The yarn choice gives the sweater a light and airy quality, making it perfect for spring and summer wear, but also as an all-year favorite. The neck is ribbed and can be folded down to half length. The ribbing is repeated on both the body and the sleeves. The Frida Sweater is designed to be easy to knit, perfect for beginners, but also experienced knitters.
