Most people knit tighter on colourwork than they do when they knit plain stockinette. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when you knit the pattern. Knitting tension varies from person to person, so always knit a test swatch before you start.

Yarn
Luna, Vidde and/or Varde from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, Lettlopi from Istex, Fivel from Rauma.

Yarn amount
This sweater is perfect for using up leftover yarn. You can also use the same colour in several places to create a version with fewer colours. You can, for example, use the same colour for the base colour and pattern colour 3. You can also use the same colour for pattern colour 1 and 6 or 2 and 5 if you want a variant with few different colours.
