Frozen Thistle Sweater

Make a statement with this simple but feminine sweater and show everyone that a crocheted garment is never boring.
The lacy stitch pattern of the body and sleeves makes the Frozen Thistle Sweater a perfect addition to your handmade wardrobe.
The pattern is great for skilled crocheters who want to try something different and challenging.
It works up quick enough and works well with the suggested yarn in any color, but it can be made with color gradient yarn too. The possibilities are endless!
