Frozen Lake

Frozen Lake

$9.00

Frozen Lake is the perfect pullover to knit up fast for cooler weather and it’s super-comfy! The stranded colorwork is easy and fun. Do you see the trees, ice crystals and frozen lake?

Construction is top-down and in the round in a completely seamless manner, starting with a circular yoke for easy stranded colorwork.

There are 4 options to choose from for the collar: Rolled garter edge, turtleneck, double-crew, or funnel neck. You can choose short or long sleeves and also can add a bit of length to the back hemline for comfort in wearing.

This design will look great in any yarn with good drape that meets gauge. I do recommend a smooth, equal weight yarn for the contrast color and that you swatch the design to be sure your colorwork yarn plays well with your main color.

Yarn options for the contrast color include using 1-5 colors, a gradient yarn, color changing yarn, or even 2 colors with a fade in the middle.

See below for links to yarn.

Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of about 4 inches / 10 cm at chest.
