The Fika pullover is a cable pullover with a circular yoke. It is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The cable pattern flows from small cables into larger ones all the way from the neck edge down to the hem and cuffs. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. The neckband can be knitted short, folded double at the end for extra warmth and volume or left unfolded for funnel neck.

The name Fika comes from the Swedish word for drinking coffee and eating something sweet like cinnamon buns while chatting with your friends. The Fika pullover matches my Kanelbulle hat.
