Bifukolla pattern is inspired by dandelions. Last year I attended two courses at Núvitundarsetrið and their logo is a dandelion. I kept looking at it every single week and knew I had to make it into a knitting pattern! So during the first course I designed this pattern and then knitted the sweater during the second course. I absolutely love everything about this pattern and am so happy to have such a great memory connected to this pattern.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round. A few of my test knitters did however knit their sweaters from top to bottom. As the pattern is easy to follow, you can simply start at the neck and follow it down if you prefer to knit top to bottom.

Gauge
10x10cm = 18 sts and 26 rows on 5mm needles.

Circular needles: 4mm and 5mm, 40 and 60/80 cm (depending on your size)

Double-pointed needles: 4mm and 5mm

NOTE: I knit quite tightly so you may need to use 4,5mm or even 4mm I recommend knitting a swatch to test the tension.

This pattern has slim fit and a shorter body length, if you prefer a wider fit you should consider sizing up and/or adding a few cm in the body.

This pattern will be ready in kid sizes in October.
