Kids Kintra

£5.00

Kintra is a top-down, round-yoke sweater worked in 1x1 colourwork. The yoke is finished with raglan increases to improve fit and short rows. All sizes can use between 2 and 12 colours for this pattern, making it perfect for sets of yarn or scraps.

The 1x1 makes this a great beginning colourwork sweater as there are no concerns around floats and carrying yarn.
