Stinta (the name is an old Swedish word for girl) is a beautiful sweater knitted from the top down with saddle shoulders and waist shaping to focus on the figure. The doubled edges are worked in a different quality yarn and color than the sweater itself. A simple texture pattern is the only embellishment.
