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 25 colours for this pattern, making it perfect for advents or scraps!
The 1x1 makes this a great beginner colourwork sweater as there are no long floats and rows only ever use 2 colours at a time.
It is printed and also comes with a download code for both the DK and Fingering weight versions with colourwork charts.
