Koster is a woman’s knitted cardigan with instructions for both a solid version and a breathtaking intarsia version using Valley Yarns Taconic. If you like a little more color and excitement in your knitting, the intarsia version is for you, if you like something a little more subtle, the solid version is a winner. The intarsia pattern is in chart form only.
