Nordisk Arv Sweater
Introduction
This sweater has roots in the Nordic pattern tradition.
With elements from this huge legacy, I wanted to create a simple, timeless design that can be used for everyday life and parties; with a pair of jeans or over a dress.
It is knitted from top down with a half-high neck. After the yoke, you make German short rows just before stitches are cast off for the sleeves.
This assures a better fit.
When it is knitted from the top down, you can easily adjust the sleeve and body length so that it fits exactly to your measurements.
Happy Knitting.
