Fire Isle Sweater Knitting Pattern Download

Description

This show-stopping sweater marries pronounced texture and stunning colorwork in side-to-side construction. The stranded colorwork is only worked on the front-the back carries the textured slipped rib pattern the whole way-and is topped by a loose turtleneck.
