Click for the Little Bit Frosted Top hat, the adult Frosted Top hat, or the adult Frosted sweater.

As autumn breezes give way to winter chills, woolen sweaters become a daily staple. This top-down sweater is sure to become a favorite pullover throughout the season. The neckline begins with a little bit of frost as Fair Isle snowflakes begin below the collar and change in both size and color intensity around the shoulders. Three Irish Girls gradients create an eye-catching colorwork effect, while colorful detailing along the bottom of the sweater body and sleeves give this garment make for both a unique look and an interesting knit. Cozy up to the fire and grab your needles… it’s time to get a Little Bit Frosted!
