Sweetly Scandinavian, MillaMia’s Cassandra sweater is worked with slipped stitch colorwork, a great way to begin working with two colors if you are new to stranded knitting. Cropped to the waist, this sassy top works up beautifully in MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino, a lofty sport weight that creates great stitch definition with its firm twist.

it takes is a combination of colour changes and slip stitches.
The back of the jumper has the added shaping detail of a wide
vent in the centre, to create a more sophisticated silhouette.
