“With its cowl neck, this sleeveless sweater has a retro feel to match the vintage Frost Flower stitch.”

“Vivian is worked from the top down, so the Frost Flower stitch pattern is inverted…. and embedded… in a rib stitch, giving this popular stitch pattern new life…. it starts small and then fans out to the full flower at the bottom of the sweater.”

“Vivian is constructed from the top down with short-row shoulder shaping.”
