Huldra sweater
Huldra sweater is a circular yoke sweater, knitted top down in one piece.
The cable part has step by step chart and written instructions making it easy to follow.
Huldra is a hidden forest creature found in Norwegian folklore.
She was a flirtatious, young girl who was neither good nor evil.
The problem with Huldra was that she was highly seductive and known for luring young men, make them marry her and then make them live with her family, the underground people, deep in the mountains.
The mountain would close and they would never be able to leave again. The only thing separating her from humans was the long cow
tail growing from her back. She would hide the tail until it was too late for the young boy to think clearly.
