The Raspberry Sweater is a natural addition to the collection of berry sweaters. It stands out from the others by being knitted top down, featuring a back neckline shaping, a slightly a-lined body and an i-cord neckband edge.

Try the sweater on as you knit to achieve the perfect length. The ribbing on the body and sleeves is about 3 cm.

The new yarn quality Fjallalopi by Istex (50 g = 150 m) is half as thick as Léttlopi. The sweater is thin and light and suits everday use well.

If you want this in a thicker version, you can knit the Raspberry Sweater in Léttlopi (50 g = 100 m).
