Highlight of the BEFORE FALL collection, the BEFORE FALL SWEATER is a key piece among cosy, nature-inspired garments and accessories. Designed for the ‘Nutiden’ yarn ‘Lammas’ collection by Höner och Eir, it captures autumn’s crisp air, changing landscapes, and gentle sun rays, blending simplicity and visual appeal.

The rustic sweater is a unisex raglan piece, offering both a relaxed and classic fit. Knit from the top-down in the round, its distinguishing feature is a British moss stitch panel on the front. This panel is further accentuated by ribbed raglan seam details, which originate from the neck ribbing, extending seamlessly down the body and sleeves. To add a personal touch, the pattern provides two sets of variations for the underarms and the sides of the body. These elements are interchangeable, enabling knitters to mix and match them according to their preferences.
