Mikkel Ræv Sweater
Introduction
The idea for this sweater came out of fascination of the fox, but also a loving thought for our old Irish terrier, who was so reminiscent of a fox. A clever animal with the most beautiful red fur colour.
The sweater here is knitted from the bottom up, with a relaxed fit.
The yoke pattern is knitted after a diagram and hides small, fine fox heads.
At the end the neck is shaped by German short rows to make it higher at the back.
