The Zia Sweater! (digital pattern & plan PDF)

The Zia Sweater is a colorwork crochet pattern worked in vertical columns that creates a classic checkered design and delicious fit. Instead of carrying yarn with each stitch, the unused color rides up the side of the column and gets hidden as you go. Minimal ends. Clean finish. Maximum satisfaction!!
