Mila Sweater

The Mila Sweater is a stunning blend of traditional Nordic colorwork and whimsical design, perfect for knitters looking to elevate their wardrobe. This eye-catching knitted piece features a colorful striped yoke that seamlessly transitions into an allover pattern, adding both drama and a touch of fun to this classic-fit sweater. Knitted from the top down, the process begins with the collar for a sleek finish. The clever use of short-row shaping in the back ensures a flattering fit, accentuating the bust perfectly. Yoke increases are incorporated directly into the yoke chart, allowing for a seamless transition into the body and sleeves, which are crafted using a second chart.

This delightful sweater is specifically designed to be knitted using two strands of fingering weight yarn held double, offering a rich texture and vibrant finish. For those who prefer a different yarn weight, a single strand of Sport or DK weight yarn can be substituted, provided that the gauge is met. Please keep in mind that changing the yarn weights will also alter the yardage required for this enchanting project.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner looking to expand your skills, the Mila Sweater offers a unique knitting experience.
