Daves sweater jr. a rather thick and wonderful sweater with extra length and an oversize fit. It is the perfect outer garment with extra clothes underneath when the temperature starts to drop. Ideal for cold autumn and winter days, inside and outside.
Daves sweater jr. is worked bottom up with double thread on thick needles. It is divided into front and back piece at the armhole openings and both pieces are finished separately. The neckline is large and thick and it is folded double before the stitches are cast off. Pick up stitches for the sleeves around the armhole openings and work them to your desired length.

Vams in 100% Norwegian wool will give a dense and heavy sweater with good durability that will last long. The yarn has many good qualities such as tenacity.
Puno and Cloud will give a thinner wool sweater with a bit more air between the stitches, but still with good thickness and warmth. This yarn creates an airy sweater that moves gently when worn.
