Last year this was fresh of my needles. Riddari knitted topdown with decreases in the back for a more feminine fit.  I love it (although I do wish it was a tad bigger....)

Pattern: Riddari (available here) 

Yarn: Istex Léttlopí

Colours used are from Katie Davis Àsta Solilja, sweater from the book Yokes.  For more details see my Ravelry page here

I blocked the sweater in the fresh snow.
