The sweater is worked bottom-up featuring traditional Norwegian stranded colourwork motifs on the yoke and it has a simple body shape for an easy fit. As the colourwork part is mostly on the yoke, and we only work with two colours at a time, this is a lovely project for knitters who do not have much experience in colourwork."
Construction
The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up – first the body and then the sleeves until the underarms. The yoke is worked featuring a simple colourwork pattern.
