Krista

If you're an intermediate knitter with a passion for Fair Isle patterns, this stunning sweater project, named Krista, is just the right challenge for you! Designed specifically for Fair Isle enthusiasts, Krista is worked in separate pieces and then sewn together, allowing you to refine your skills while creating a beautiful garment. One of the unique aspects of this pattern is that you’ll need to work the intricate Fair Isle design on the wrong side (WS) rows as well, making it a truly engaging endeavor.

On top of the Fair Isle technique, the overall cut of the sweater is incredibly simple, making it accessible to those who are ready to take on a new knitting adventure. The back and front parts are crafted in straight stockinette stitch without any complicated shapings, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.
